I did a post on Bourjois little round pots of blush as part of my beauty classics (check out that post here!) and I mentioned that I really wanted the colour Lune D’or (number 35) but that it wasn’t available here in Aus 🙁 What’s with that, seriously?! Well never fear, I found a trusted seller in Europe on ebay that stocked the colour and ta-da! It’s mine 🙂 and it’s so beautiful!
It’s a gorgeous pale pale pink colour, with golden shimmer. When swatched, it looks super shimmery, but luckily you don’t end up looking like a disco ball. It leaves you with a gorgeous highlighted/glowy look. I looked at some swatches of the shade online before purchasing it, and a few people commented that it’s more of a highlighter than a blusher, but I would disagree. You still get a light dusting of pink on your cheeks and you can definitely build up the colour if you need to. Perhaps if you have a very dark skin tone, then you could use it as a highlighter. For lighter, medium and even olive/tan skin tones, it should appear on your skin as it does in the pan.
It’s a little lighter in colour in real life compared to the photos above. It has the usual baby powder-rose scent that all Bourjois blushes tend to have (which I really like!). It’s a strong scent, but it disappears once it’s on your skin. To show you a comparison (so that you can hopefully see how much paler it is compared to other rosy shades) down below Lune D’or is on the right, while Rose Frisson (#54) is on the left.
Funnily enough, even when I layered this blusher on my skin and the colour is very visible and had a nice depth to it, the camera washed it out 🙁 does anyone know why that happens? I thought I’d show you what it looks like on, even though as I said, the colour is a bit washed out (actually, more than just a bit). I also layered it on top of a brown on the the outer corner of my eyelid.
It’s a gorgeous blush and I’m so infatuated with Bourjois blushes at the moment! And how could you not be?! If you are from Aus and you are after this shade (Lune D’or #35) I bought it from hogiesonline (an ebay shop) from the UK. Bourjois blushes retail in Aus for $20 and even with international delivery/postage from the UK, it cost me about $18 all up – so I still saved money lol! It’s crazy to think that something from the other side of the world could be cheaper than buying something locally… I received my blush pretty quickly (I waited about 2 weeks) and it was in perfect condition, so I can vouch for the seller 🙂
Have you tried any Bourjois blushes? What are your favourite shades? I would love to know, so don’t be shy 🙂 I have three shades so far, but I can see my collection growing 🙂 Also, join me on Facebook for more antics and beauty talk!

(Collective Evolution | Alanna Ketler) We’ve heard it over and over again: Prolonged sun exposure is dangerous and should be avoided in order to prevent skin damage and skin cancer.
Yet we also know that adequate vitamin D intake is important for our health and our mental well-being, and that the sun is the single best source of its production in our bodies. So while the American Academy of Dermatology may assert that supplementation and the bare minimum of sun exposure is sufficient, their stance fails to take into account the wide array of important biological processes that sun exposure initiates aside from vitamin D production alone.
It seems that most dermatologists have learned compartmentalized information; instead of looking at the benefits of vitamin D as a whole, they focus solely on preventing skin damage, largely ignoring the other side –the benefits of sun exposure.
Ironically, some research even shows that vitamin D can improve survival outcomes for those diagnosed with melanoma. Vitamin D is also essential for things like cognitive health, immune system function, and strong, healthy bones, to name a few.
Fifteen to 20 minutes in sunlight a day helps your body produce the vitamin D it needs to absorb calcium and promote bone growth and keep the heart healthy. But sunscreen – important to protect against skin cancer – reduces the body’s ability to manufacture the vitamin.
Doctors can be torn on recommending time in the sun when too much and too little both have consequences.
In a recent study conducted in Sweden, more than 25,500 Swedish women between the ages of 25 and 64 were followed and examined for 20 years. Detailed information about sun exposure habits and confounding factors were obtained and analyzed in a “completing risk” scenario.
What researchers found overall was that the women who got regular sun exposure had a lower all-cause mortality risk, which was associated with their increased vitamin D levels.
Women who spent a lot of time in the sun ended up having a lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease and non-cancer death compared to those who avoided the sun. Researchers noted that “nonsmokers who avoided sun exposure had a life expectancy similar to smokers in the highest sun exposure group, indicating that avoidance of sun exposure is a risk factor for death of a similar magnitude as smoking. Compared to the highest sun exposure group, life expectancy of avoiders of sun exposure was reduced by 0.6–2.1 years.”
Research has shown that when sunlight hits your skin, nitric oxide is instantly released into your bloodstream — a substance which just happens to be a powerful blood pressure lowering compound.
This led researchers to determine that exposure to the sun can actually prolong your life by significantly reducing your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. And a study conducted in 2013 offers an amazing statistic: For every one death from skin cancer in northern Europe, between 60 and 100 people die from stroke or heart disease relating to hypertension. I think knowing your risk of contracting a heart disease or having a stroke is about 80 times greater, on average, than dying of skin cancer really puts things into perspective.
While Vitamin D levels correlate with lower rates of cardiovascular disease, studies show that vitamin D supplements do not benefit blood pressure or increase nitric oxide.
Build up your tolerance to the sun by starting in small increments in the early spring and gradually increasing your time in the sun. This will help you avoid sunburn. Once you have built up your tolerance, aim for 15 to 30 minutes of unprotected exposure two to four times a week around midday to encourage sufficient vitamin D production.
Boost your “internal sunscreen” by eating antioxidant-rich foods and healthy fats. These foods can actually strengthen skin cells to protect against sun damage.
If you are going to be spending more time in the sun, especially direct sunlight, try to cover up skin that is exposed. You can also try a natural sunscreen for more protection.
It is important to know that the sun is not the enemy; you should not fear the sun! After all, the sun provides life-force energy for everything that grows on the earth! Just be careful and follow the necessary precautions to prevent getting sunburnt. We all know how great it feels to have the sun shining on our faces and how much more cheerful we tend to be when the sun is out, and depriving ourselves of this feeling is neither healthy nor necessary.

Jekyll is a bloging framework that was popularized by GitHub Pages. What makes it unique is that it generates static HTML files from markdown which means you don't need a crazy web-server to run it, all you need is something that can serve HTML & CSS.
That means Uber fast load times, static files can't really crash or fail, and there is no dealing with complex server side software which breaks (well I manage to break it) all the time.
You can host it on any server you want, simply generate the static files and drag and drop them to your el-cheapo $4.99/mo server, use github pages, or even Heroku.
S3 for me was the cheapest and I know my site will always be available, I can use route 53 for my DNS & Cloudfront as a CDN, and get of those low latency, high data transfer speeds that come with it.
Next we'll be creating a new jekyll site, this will generate all the files necessary to run your blog locally, make sure you're in the place you want to create it, for me it's ~/daniel.whyte/work
Jekyll generated a number of files within ~/my-awesome-site, you can edit and style these files until your heart is content. It's important to note, files prefixed with _ will not be included in the final build, as they denote being partials.
Next we'll navigate to our new site, and run jekyll serve, which will start a local http server and track any changes to the files and update the generated web page on the fly.
Now if we navigate to http://localhost:4000 in your favorite web browser, You should see the image below, if so, congrats, you've setup your Jekyll Site, and it's working as intended.
Amazon have a pretty good Documentation around setting up an s3 bucket for use with a website follow the steps, and take note of your s3 bucket name.
If you don't set your bucket policy, then when you run your build script, and everything get's uploaded to your s3 bucket, when you try to visit your new shiny website, you're going to get a 403, meaning 'everyone' accessing your website via the buckets public URL do not have the permission to read your super sweet blog, this policy gives 'everyone' those read permissions.
s3_website is a tool that allows you to upload websites to amazon s3 via the command line, and it supports Jekyll.
s3 website needs both Ruby and Java to run. (S3 website is partly written in Scala, hence the need for Java.) If you try setting it up and it requires you to update java, it will let you know.
Now we run s3_website cfg create this will create 3_website.yml which we store our access keys and target bucket along with a bunch of other things you may want to configure.
Now you want to copy & paste those keys that you took note of back when you created the new user, along with the bucket you created earlier.
I hope this is of some help, Jekyll is a pretty powerful tool, and if you like to write in markdown it's perfect. If you're still unsure about some things or having some problems, leave a comment and perhaps I can be of some help.

Good job! An Islamic Empire in the Middle East and an impending Muslim Mongol Empire.

872 - The great canal connecting the Mediterranean and the Red Seas is finally completed, and the first vessel travels through it. The Byzantines immediately send exploration ships into the Red Sea, and beyond. In Aquitaine, a weak and easily manipulated Charles V inherits the throne, virtually ensuring no trouble for either Venetians or the Byzantines for most of his reign.
Early Suez Canals are very popular in Alternate History, I think Quote:

Intersesting piece albit shorter. So there won't be a Ghengis Khan about?
Definitely not a Ghengis Khan proper... what I was thinking about is more like having the Mongols focus all of their energy and power on China, to where within a few centuries China is very different from the one we know. Essentially I am looking for a more outward-looking China with different religion, and some real imperial ambitions throughout the world - not to mention China that is more open to technological innovation. In other words, I am thinking a more successful Kublai Khan (rather, an equivalent of him) and his dynasty.

#127 March 21st, 2005, 04:44 PM
Before I go into this update, one thing needs to be explained. Due to much confusion regarding the ATL religion named "Islam", I believe a name change for it may be necessary, to avoid both the confusion with OTL religion of the same name, as well as to not let any preconception about said religion one may have color the idea of what it is in ATL.
Thus, many thanks to Leo Caesius for suggesting an alternate name that would still make sense in the context of the TL. From now on, and with respect to the previous updates, any references to ATL "Islam" should be replaced to references to a religion called al-Din (pronounced ad-DEEN), which in Arabic means "The Religion", and would make sense with the people who believe theirs is the one true faith.
Therefore, the al-Din and the Islam in ATL are one and the same. Now, on with the update:
883 - The first Mongol raids into China are dismissed as nothing more than minor nuisanse - after all, the Chinese Emperor commands a numerous army, and could hide behind the walls of his well-fortified cities. Things do get serious enough within a short period of time where the Emperor sends a large army contingent to do a preemptive raid on the Mongols. This "preemptive raid" goes only to prove that the Mongols are much stronger opponent than any the Chinese have ever encountered. The Chinese army is slaughtered, and, to add insult to injury, Mongols retaliate, striking northern China and spreading devastation all around.
884 - In Constantinople, Leo V begins a massive building program, renovating much of the city that had been neglected by many of his predecessors. In a meanwhile, he is rather concerned with restoring some of the provinces that had been Imperial territory in the centuries past. By now, his eyes are centered on the Vandal state of Nea Vandalor, which occupies a relatively small stretch of land between Egypt and the Western Empire's possessions. His reasons for wanting to occupy Nea Vandalor are twofold, one, the glory of his Empire, two, a need to have a base from which to strike into either Egypt or the African territories of the Venetians should any problems with either nation arise. 885 - The kingdom of Nea Vandalor owes its continued existense to the desire of the Venetians to keep a buffer state between themselves and Egypt. In the days when relations between the two Roman Empires were much better, and they considered themselves a part of unique, inseparable entity, the Eastern Romans allowed this state of affairs to continue, especially considering that the Western Romans brought Nea Vandalor under their protection - the protection that has been recently withdrawn as a part of an agreement between Claudius V and Leo V. Thus, the Vandals appear to be an easy prey, not able to resist the onslaught of the Imperial army, and not possessing the manpower or resources to do significant damage. However, the Vandal nation is ruled by one Otto, a recently enthroned king of some vision and talent. Knowing all too well that not only he is locked between major powers and the desert, but that one of those very powers desires the land his kingdom is built on, he is rather desperate for any means of salvation. These means come in shape of a Norse mercenary, who casually mentions about the Norse exploits to the West, and about the new lands they had found. Despite the fact that most of those lands so far are rather worthless in terms of resources and ability to sustain large population, Otto is intrigued. Maybe, he hopes, the Pillars of Hercules are not the edge of the world, and there may yet be a way to save the Vandal nation from becoming one of the many Roman provinces. Secretly, he commissions an expedition to the West, disguising it as a trading mission to avoid its potential destruction by the Venetians. Using the new developments in ship design made in Venice and borrowing more than a few tricks of the trade from the Norse, the Vandals are able to construct three vessels, which are relatively ocean-worthy, and are able to operate beyond the confines of the Mediterranean.
886 - The Vandals receive an ultimatum from Constantinople to either accept a Byzantine governor and give up their independence, or to be destroyed. Many of the young Vandal nobles despise the very idea of surrender, preferring to go down in a blaze of glory; however, Otto is well aware that resistance is rather futile, and instead of rebuffing the Byzantines, all he could hope to do is to damage their forces enough - and infuriate them enough in the process - to where the eventual conquest would be not only more brutal, but more oppressive on any Vandal survivors. Besides, there are some good news to report - out of the three vessels sent out, two were lost to storms and navigational problems, however, one did return with tales of islands that seemed like paradise, strange creatures, and strange people inhabiting them. Otto believed he found his solution. In the general assembly of the Vandals, he addressed his subjects, telling them that they may yet shake off the chains of Roman oppression, and found a new, greater Vandalor - Magna Vandalor he calls it, the Great Vandalor, beyond the ocean. Alternatively, they may stay behind and fight, knowing their cause is doomed. Many of the Vandals present vow to join their king in a difficult travel many may not be able to survive - yet still, many decide to remain and fight on. Otto, in a meanwhile, tried to get his hands on any kind of a ship he could - resulting in a motley flotilla of some hundred ships being assembled, some relatively modern, but some barely able to float. Under the cover of the night, the Vandal fleet sails west, miraculously bypassing many Venetian and Byzantine patrols, and setting course into the unknown. The remaining Vandals' fate could be told quickly. The Byzantines show no mercy in subjugating the kingdom, relocating many of the survivors to the Caliphate frontier, while settling some others in Thrace and Macedonia. All traces of the Vandals in the Old World have been completely removed.
887 - Despite losing almost two thirds of the fleet, Otto himself among the casualties, the remainder of the Vandal host reaches an island that appears to offer ideal conditions for rebuilding. They name the island Ottonia, in the name of the monarch that led them on their perilous journey. The island is OTL's Cuba, located strategically to be able to expand into the mainland just a short travel beyond. In Constantinople, Leo V celebrates a triumph, looking for his next conquest to the northwest. Despite being fellow Orthodox Christians, the Bulgars do occupy many of the ancestral Imperial lands - this state of affairs, he believes, may not continue. Previously the Aquitainian and Venetian influence would have left these thoughts just that - thoughts; however, Aquitaine fell into civil war after disputed succession, and Claudius V of the Western Empire has his hands tied battling the Senate in the realm of political influence. Thus, he is free to interfere as much as he would like. He, however, did not account for one potential rival - the Kievan Russians, whose prince Svyatopolk has been determined to extend his already massive dominions to the south. As the Byzantines sweep into Bulgaria, so do the Russians. Leo manages to reach an agreement with the Russians, dividing the Bulgar lands into two sections - however, this only whets Svyatopolk's appetite.
889 - Leo V Paleologus dies of fever, leaving a three year old son Andronicus. Due to the new monarch's minority, the regency is assumed by the Patriarch, who maneuvers around the Empress Irine and the Senate. The Empress suspects that the Patriarch plans to murder young Andronicus IV, and to install his own younger brother to the throne instead - thus, she appeals for help to the commander of the army, Nicephorus Acropolites. Nicephorus arrives in the capital, where he proclaims himself the protector of the young Emperor's rights. Shortly thereafter, he marries Irene, and is crowned Nicephorus III in Hagia Sophia - his coronation being part of an agreement between them to ensure the survival of Andronicus IV.
891 - The full might of the Mongol horde sweeps into China, eradicating any opposition. Driven by both the desire of conquest as well as the religious fervor, the Mongols slaughter everything in their way, resulting in millions of dead. As the terrified Chinese, both noble and commoner, flee south for their lives, the Mongols establish a new Empire on the territories formerly under Chinese control. The Mongol Khan Batu takes the title of the ruler he has defeated, and proclaims himself to be the Emperor of China, the chosen of God, the defender of faith of al-Din.
892 - In Venice, an old archivist goes through the centuries-old records, categorizing them to be properly catalogued in the Imperial library, when something catches his eye. He sees a mention of a device called aeoliphile, built in Roman Egypt seven centuries ago. Luckily, the archivist's favorite pasttime is constructing mechanical contraptions, many of which end up as toys for his younger children and grandchildren. Intrigued, he decides to give it a try, and to build a miniature one at home. If nothing, it would prove to be a good way to distract his youngest grandchild from interfering with the adults' business. While doing its fair share in distracting said grandchild, it also caught attention of the boy's father, a supervisor at mining operations. Even though the aeolophile is not very practical, and has very limited use, the man reasoned that with sufficient improvements, it could make his subordinates' job quite a bit easier. Thus, he sets to work, and comes up with a new and improved version of the engine, the one that actually could replace much manual labor. Over the next century, the age of the steam engine will come into full force.
893 - The Caliphate's expansion is by now grinding to a halt. Despite it taking over most of India, and the Mongols' conversion to al-Din, the Mongols are not willing to happily hand over the power to Caliph and walk to the side. Rather, they are empire builders themselves, creating a first time in Caliphate's history where there was another power following the faith of al-Din not recognizing political or religious claims of the Caliph. In China, the Mongols take over larger and larger chunks of the territory, completing their conquest by the end of the decade. Instead of pillaging and destroying everything in their way, however, they decide to settle in China en masse, permanently altering the balance of power there.
894 - The Russian prince Svyatopolk invades Byzantine territories, requiring Nicephorus III to take to the field. The battle, fought at Varna near the Black Sea coast, is a total Byzantine victory. The Russians, tired and battered after waves of Byzantine assaults, sue for peace, promising to vacate the Byzantine territory, asking only for enough provisions to make it home. Next year, the Russian ambassadors will arrive in Constantinople, negotiating a commercial treaty. From there on, the Russian ambitions would be centered elsewhere.
895 - Claudius V of the Venetian Empire, feeling mortally sick, abdicates the throne, asking the Senate to choose his successor, which they gladly do. They choose the one Giovanni da Vinci to be the next Emperor, and he is dutifully crowned in Venice. The new Emperor comes from a distinguished senatorial family, and his election sets the precedent of the Senate choosing the Emperor, rather than any kind of hereditary succession principle.
897 - The Vandal settlement in Ottonia thrives, despite initial difficulties. Several expeditions are sent to explore the mainland, returning with tales of many wondrous things, and of great riches. Many a young Vandal noble decide to try their luck on the continent, where the devastation caused by European diseases, steel and gunpowder weapons allows many to establish semi-independent principalities, all owing allegiance to the High King at Ottonia, but, due to low manpower available to the Vandals, practically independent in every respect. What the Vandals do not know is that the Norse longships by now have located what we know as Newfoundland. Calling the new island (for they believe it to be one) Vinnland, the Norse follow the shore south, eventually finding OTL's New England area, and establishing settlements there.
898 - Aquitaine and Frankia are by now somewhat recovered from civil strife, and establish renewed efforts to expand the kingdom. Through a complicated series of events, one Erik II establishes himself at the throne of Denmark, and conducts an alliance with the Aquitainian king. What makes Erik different from his predecessors is the fact that he is a Christian, and is very insistent in proselytizing among his subjects. The result is a civil war, which sets Erik and his supporters, mostly the merchants, the commoners, and many of the lower and middle classes, against the old pagan aristocracy. The pagan aristocracy of Denmark loses after a climactic battle at Copenhagen, making Erik's methods of converting his population more and more heavy-handed. Thus, by 900 there is a steady stream of Norse immigration from Denmark and rapidly Christianizing Norway and Sweden to the lands west - many of the refugees making it to Vinnland, strengthening the settlement there to become a viable state of its own.
899 - A Vandal explorer discovers the Mayan civilization on Yucatan peninsula. Awed by their perceived power and level of what he termed as "barbaric sophistication", the explorer decides that peaceful relations must be followed, as these organized, developed people are nothing like the relatively primitive tribes his people had encountered beforehand.
900 - The kingdom of Vinnland is established, with the capital in Odinheim. The new High Kings of Vinnland are a proud and defiant breed, seeking to spread their faith by sword, if needed, among the local native tribes. Being that the Vikings' religion and society emphasize martial values, many of the local tribes are more often than not willingly accepting the ways of the foreigners who, after all, are warriors like themselves, willing to respect warrior values. Thus, the kingdom of Vinnland in the following years develops an identity much different from that of the original European Norse.

Great stuff- a bunch of quibbles and questions-
While doing its fair share in distracting said grandchild, it also caught attention of the boy's father, a supervisor at mining operations
I really like the usage of 'said' in this sentence. I've tried to re-use the word 'akin' in the usage 'like' in my stories and it's very comforting that such usage is being re-used.

I'm curious if you've surfed SHWIF on google and come across the Empty America TL by Doug Hoff. He's got the same situation as you do but in different variations.

So the local tribes are or to the religion? Common sense would dictate that while some of the virtues held by the warriors would be accepted while otehrs would not. It's just the phrasing of this sentence that has me puzzled- especially the "willing to respect warrior values" part. Is it that bits and pieces of the religion are accepted while others are not?
Also- is the "pagan" world of the Vikings will become broken into seperate sects? (i.e. this church is for Freya, this church is for Thor, etc, etc)
They choose the one Giovanni da Vinci
= to OTL's da Vinci? Will there be a Leonardo about?
4. Is it time for another map????
Overall, great segment. I await for more-

1) I really like the usage of 'said' in this sentence. I've tried to re-use the word 'akin' in the usage 'like' in my stories and it's very comforting that such usage is being re-used.

Unfortunately I am not too familiar with the TL in question - my idea was to create a world that develops quite differently, and to create a viable Vinnland - probably not the most original idea as to how to get it, but IMO it would be the most plausible.
Generally, the local tribes are receptive enough of the pagan Norse religion to have quite a few converts - and because the natives already have an established culture and society, the Norse would be quite willing to overlook that the natives tend to identify Odin, Thor, and the others with their own native deities. Rather, a curious trend will eventually appear where the Norse colonists will start to identify the Great Spirit with Odin, and pretty much state that the natives believe in the same gods, under different names, with much cultural interexchange.
As for the separate sects, I would imagine that it is somewhat likely, considering that the Norse will want to have as little central government control as possible, and as such, depending on which god(s) a particular noble is adhering to, that god(s) worship would be promoted in his domain. With less central authority, there would be very little in the way of enforcing worship of certain deities over the others.
3. = to OTL's da Vinci? Will there be a Leonardo about?
There would be no relation to OTL's da Vinci, rather, I was thinking of coming up with a recognizable name with OTL overtones, but this time meaning someone completely different. By now, if there would even be someone named Leonardo da Vinci, it would be a completely different person from the one we all know The use of the name was mostly to illustrate the length which separates the old Roman Imperium and the new "Venetian" Roman Empire, which is as far removed from Imperial Rome as XIIth century Byzantium would have been.
Thank you! IMO another map right now could be quite good, especially if it would show the non-European civilizations - the spread of the Caliphate in India, the Vandal kingdom in Cuba, the Norse kingdom in Newfoundland, the Mongol Chinese Empire, and the still-surviving Chinese remnant in the south of China. Thank you for your help!

^Nice update, seems things are really moving ahead much faster then OTL, Technology wise (careful, or you�ll end up in Sci-Fi territory !)
#131 March 21st, 2005, 06:01 PM
Heh... the idea is that the Dark Ages in Europe are not nearly as long, or as "dark" as in OTL because the "barbarian" successor kingdoms of the Roman Empire do not take hold, except for OTL France, Germany, and parts of Spain. Rather, the Goths in Italy are incorporated into the Empire, transforming it to something different. The one thing I want to do in the future of this TL is to come up with an ideas on alternate technology development, as opposed to what we usually see as linear tech development in OTL. Thus, it may be possible to have a civilization that uses mechanical computers, rocket-powered semi-jet planes, steam-powered naval vessels, with the soldiers that use both gunpowder weapons and swords about the same, as long as they are not facing massive steam-powered mechs, but that yet has to learn about immunization, or about electricity.
Not to say this is exactly what I was going for, but rather alternate technological progress as opposed to faster one - certain things get invented much faster than in OTL, but some other things may not get invented for a while. Also, a more technologically advanced civilization ends up depending on its technology and social structure that comes with it more than a less advanced one - and as such, advanced civilizations are subject to perils (often of their own making) that less advanced, less populous civilizations may bypass. In other words, there might be some ways in which the world of this ATL may seem "sci-fi"-ish further down the line (I am thinking 1500s-1600s), but in some aspects, this TL may be less advanced than our own, and may encounter another set of dark ages of its own making. Thank you for all your comments, I'll try to get the next update up today, if I get time.
#132 March 21st, 2005, 06:23 PM
I did something like this. I was still using swords and had planes and steam ships long before gunpowder was being actively used. It all comes down to necessity and inspiration. If history had had someone to continue to develop the Baghdad battery we may have had the light bulb in a time when the most sophisticated weapon was still the sword.

The Butcher Of Aquitaine
As the Xth century comes about, things are starting to shape up nicely...
901 - The Venetian Empire is finally successful in subduing the Visigoths in Iberia all the way up to the Aquitainian frontier. By now, the Venetians control all of the territories of the old Western Roman Empire minus Gaul, Germannia, and Britain. The parallel is not lost on Giovanni I, who believes that by now, centuries-long process of reconquest might be getting close to completion. By now thirty one years old, he believes it is his life's work to bring the rebel provinces back into the fold - never mind the fact that said provinces had been independent kingdoms for centuries. The main problem is, of course, the resources, and the manpower necessary for such a task. With Iberia still not fully pacified, and North Africa being poorer, and sparcely populated, unlike in the days of the old, Giovanni knows he can only rely on limited manpower of Italy, and on mercenaries - the latter, being inherently unreliable in his mind, are not suited for the task. However, the Aquitainian Empire does have an Achilles heel - its feudal nature and the relative power of the nobles are the cracks that Giovanni intends to drive his strikes through. He hopes that he can play on the divisions within the Aquitainians themselves to eliminate the ancient enemy of the Venetian Empire once and for all. Thus, he openly allies with some of the prominent feudal lords of Aquitaine and Frankia, promising them lands and wealth in return for their allegiance. Not surprisingly, the Aquitainian response is what one may expect - and just what Giovanni wanted.
902 - Using an army of both Italians and mercenary Norse and Lombards, Giovanni captures the southern Gaul without much resistance - in fact, by a liberal use of carrot-and-stick style diplomacy, he ensured that the local nobles swear their allegiance to him, then being left undisturbed. The rest of the population of Frankia does not seem to care much - in their minds, they are simply exchanging one overlord for the other. It is at Toulouse that the Venetians encounter the most serious resistance - a loyalist group of barons holed up in the castle, and decreed that they shall not submit to a Roman tyrant. The Roman tyrant's bombards and cannons were happy to prove them wrong.
903 - As Andronicus IV reaches adulthood in Constantinople, tensions are high between him and his supposed guardian, Nicephorus III. Soon, there is rioting in the streets, as both the populace and the Senate are polarized into factions supporting each. Andronicus' supporters claim that Nicephorus' time as a regent is over, and thus he must abdicate the throne and retire into private life. Nicephorus, after fourteen years on the throne, is understandably angered, and retorts that while young Andronicus was playing with his toy soldiers, he had been busy saving the Empire from threats external and internal. When the Empress Irine tries to meddle, she finds the hard way that both parties do have one thing in common - they have very little appreciation for her, as both agree Irine tries to take on the power that should be rightfully theirs. Thus, as Irine speeds up on her way to "honorable retirement" (which just happens to be on an island of Proti, in a "large, luxurious monastery" belonging, ironically, to a particularly austere and, shall we say, "unworldly" order of monks), an uneasy temporary peace sets in. In a meanwhile, the Frankish and Aquitainian army assembles in Gaul, commanded by Aquitainian king Henry in person. Giovanni I tries not to give battle, instead, methodically taking cities and towns one by one, and concentrating his forces where he believes the Franks would not dare to attack him - especially considering that many of the Frankish barons are by now openly allying themselves with Venetians.
904 - An uneasy peace in Constantinople is broken as a plot is revealed to murder Nicephorus. While there is no direct proof, all fingers point at Andronicus, who refuses to take blame. As both Emperors' supporters take to the streets, the fighting rages on. The fighting is the worst Constantinople had seen in centuries, and when the fires start, they not only add insult to injury, but devastate large portions of the city. Finally, Nicephorus manages to sneak out a loyal servant with orders to the army officers to enter the city, which, with help from the inside, they do. This is when things get from bad to worse. The military slaughters supporters of both parties indiscriminately, which results in pretty much the entire population of Constantinople battling the Byzantine soldiers. While Nicephorus does manage to restore some degree of order, the damage has been done, and young Andronicus, who managed to sneak out of the city using a secret passageway out of the palace, is quick to accuse him of massacre. Andronicus assumes personal command of the Army of Thrace, and marches on the capital, intending to depose "the usurper" once and for all. Nicephorus, unfortunately for him, is calamitously unprepared, while Andronicus' propaganda successfully agitates the population of the capital and much of the local military against him. Thus, he decides that abdication may yet save his life, and the doors of a monastery close behind a rather reluctant monk "Matthew". Unfortunately for him, Andronicus decides that it is better to be safe than sorry, and has Nicephorus' eyes put out before sticking the old man back into his cloister.
905 - Giovanni's maneuvering resulted in Aquitainian and Frankish forces being split in two, as his army now controls the corridor between Aquitaine proper and Frankia, all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. King Henry's army attempts to break through from Frankia into Aquitaine to reinfoce the defenders there, finally being able to force a battle. The engagement is not as much a disaster for Venetians as an embarrasment - however, Giovanni does have to pull back and to replenish some of his forces. Henry claims victory, and proceeds to make an example of several captive Frankish barons who switched sides earlier. For the rest of the Gaulish War, incidents of feudal barons switching sides got to an all-time low.
906 - A Kievan prince Yaroslav succeeds in uniting enough of the Russian principalities to where he begins to style himself Veliki Kniaz (Grand Prince). By now, Christianity begins to spread into the Russian lands, which are still predominantly pagan. The cause of Christianity is greatly helped by Yaroslav's favorite wife Svetlana, who adopts the religion, and is able to convince her husband to allow the Christians to continue unmolested.
907 - After licking his wounds Giovanni I returns to Gaul with a new army that consists both of veterans of his previous campaigns, and fresh recruits. This time around, he believes Aquitaine itself is where his enemy is the weakest - removing the main powerbase of Henry from the contest will bring, he believes, the trembling Frankish barons to the point of revolt. Henry knows this well, too, and wastes no time in calling his army up for a decisive battle. Under the walls of the capital of Aquitaine, Bordeaux, the battle is joined by some fifty thousand Franks and Aquitainians, and around forty thousand Venetian Romans. At first, things seem to be going well for Henry, until his forces wander into a carefully prepared ambush where Giovanni used what he believes to be a battle-winning weapon - "the flute of Pan", which is a series of handguns and small cannon tied together, resembling the musical instrument of the ancient god (incidentally, the OTL version of the weapon is known as the "Organ gun"). The result is a rapidly firing stream of death that is unlike anything the Franks had seen before. Its major advantage is that the "flute" could be operated by a small crew, therefore allowing for a battery of these weapons to be operated by small, easily hidden regiment. The Franks break and rout, as the Venetians are in hot pursuit. Thousands of Franks and Aquitainians, including the king Henry's son and heir Phillip, make it for the relative safety of Bordeaux, while the rest of the army flees for their lives. What they don't realize is that being holed up in a city is a Bad, Bad Idea (tm). When the food runs out, they have to start eating the horses. When the horses run out, it is on to dogs and cats. When there are none of those left, it is the flesh of the dead. By the time the Franks were looking at each other hungrily and debating who should be drawing the shortest straw, Venetian bombards mercifully breached open the gates of the city. It is here that Giovanni's most famous and most ignominous action occurs. He orders the entire male population of Bordeaux, including all of the Frankish and Aquitainian soldiers, put to death as an example to any who may resist the Roman power, selling the women and children into slavery. It is said that the slaughter lasted three days, and the Romans only stopped after their horses walked knee-deep in blood. Upon hearing the news, king Henry fell into deep depression, and died, signalling the beginning of the end of the war.
908 - The Mongol rule over China is solidified. The Khan-Emperor is now looking for a next target of expansion, and finds it just within sights. The islands of Nippon, or Japan, are rich and well developed, and despite the Japanese warriors' willingness to defend their islands to the death, would prove to be no match for the Mongol dragoons and Chinese handgunners employed in enormous numbers. With this in mind, the Mongols start building a great invasion fleet, which will take two years to complete. 909 - The Khazar Kaganate is facing a crisis. With the Kaganate's position in between regional and major powers of Kievan Rus, Arab Caliphate, and Byzantine Empire, its opportunities for expansion are rather limited, especially considering its ever-growing population. Thus, the Kagan looks to the steppes in the East. By now, the Khazar society has changed quite a bit from their nomadic days centuries ago. The Khazars have all the beginnings of a true state, borrowing many of the Arab and Byzantine social institutions, as well as much of the military technology. As such, the Kagan believes that orderly, organized expansion is the key to growing the Khazar state, as well as provide space for his people to settle on. Although they may take centuries to fully blossom, the beginnings of great Khazar Siberian Empire are sown.
910 - The Venetians have been busy mopping up remaining Frankish resistance in Gaul for the last three years. Despite the brutal massacre at Bordeaux that earned Giovanni I the nickname of "The Butcher Of Aquitaine", in victory the Venetians are generally rather accomodating, allowing many of the Frankish nobles to keep much of their land and ancestral privileges. Of course, wherever these privileges are in direct conflict with the Imperial authority, the "hierarchy of order" is reinforced, leading to the Franks becoming apparently loyal subjects in record time. Upon return to Venice, Giovanni I gives himself a triumph, proclaiming to the Senate and the citizens that he has restored Roman rule in Gaul. In a meanwhile, the Mongol attack into Japan starts, with the Mongol army landing on the northern island. The subjugation of Japan will take an entire decade, with periodic rebellions springing up for years afterwards, but ultimately the Mongol juggernaut proves to be too much for the Japanese to stop.
912 - The Norse kingdom of Vinland grows considerably, incorporating the natives - the weaker tribes as slaves, the stronger, more warlike tribes as equals, providing they acknowledge the Norse gods and pay them proper respect. In Cuba, the Vandal kingdom incorporates the native tribes by frequent intermarriage and assimilation - the outright large-scale conquest outside of setting up of small principalities is hard due to relatively small numbers of the Vandals. As such, the Vandal kingdom is more influenced by the Mayans and the other native cultures, giving back the knowledge of iron, and Christianity. While the Mayan Empire does not convert to Christianity for another three decades, smaller states around it and lesser tribes do, leading to the virtual political isolation of the Maya and to the Vandal-led alliance of Christian states of this new land rising to prominence. The one direction the Vandals do not explore in, however, is the east, for this is where those that persecuted their ancestors are, still plotting to eradicate every trace of the Vandal nation - or so they believe. Thus, the Vandals of Ottonia institute the Eastguard, a group of patrol ships designed for speed and armed with cannons and rockets. Their mission - to intercept any intruding ship that wanders too far into the new world, and to capture or destroy it. Over the years, the design of the Eastguard ships is improved, making them easier to hide in the ocean by partially submerging most of the ship's structure. The early experiments on hiding the entire ship underwater are unsuccessful, partially due to the lack of adequate propulsion - the actual submarines are still many years away; however, the advancements in ship design techniques learned by the Vandals are priceless.
913 - The Empire of Axum covers most of East coast of Africa, with the trading posts and colonies established as far east as Australia. Due to large amounts of cultural and technological exchange between the Axumites and nations of Europe, they are just as technologically advanced as both Roman Empires, and the Caliphate, whereas Axumite traders' travels take them through many parts of the world, ensuring that most news of foreign lands have passed through at least one Axumite. As much as the Byzantines try to match the mercantile profits of Axum, they could only watch in awe at the great trading empire that originally initiated in Ethiopia. Unfortunately, news and trade goods are not the only things carried by the Axumite naval merchants. An outbreak of the plague in China is spread to most corners of the civilized world through a combination of Dini pilgrims, Mongol conquerors, and Axumite traders. In 913, the plague strikes India. In 914, it reaches Ethiopia. In 915, the plague hits Alexandria, from where it spreads to most of Europe.
915 - The plague kills the Venetian Emperor Giovanni just as he plans to execute an expedition to Britain, attempting to retake that land for his Empire. The Senate chooses Giovanni's nephew Michael to take the throne as Michael IV.
916 - The large outbreak of the plague ends, although not until causing some devastating results. North Africa, Gaul, Anatolia, Italy, and Greece are all depopulated, with misery reaching gigantic proportions. The Khazars, however, seem to show more resistance to the plague, resulting in fewer deaths. Therefore, their expansion to the steppes in the east proceeds unimpeded as their immediate neighbours struggle with the aftermath of the plague.
Next installment - tomorrow.

Great stuff as usual but I was really kind of bewildered on how the Khazars manage to get to Siberia when the area in between the "el-Din" Caliphate and Russia. That 'corridor' is kind of small. Also- I wasn't too sure on how big the settlement that the Vandals have so I gave them Florida. Worthless state anyhow... Some issues=
-What the heck happened to the Bulgars and that space (see map) between the Danes, Venice, the Bulgars, and Russia? -How are the Danes different from the Norse? Are they the same?
-Define "most of India" for me- is that South India, most of North India, or North India and most of Afghanistan?
-How much does the southern border of Egypt extend?
Not listed on the map=
-Khazar, obviously, is the dark green color in OTL's Caucaus (sp?)
-The striped (blue & whatever is the Vandals) is their "allies"
-White spaces are unexplored

Great job on the map! Thank you for making it!
The Khazars are able to get more into Siberia because the Mongol Empire did not spread nearly as far West as it would have eventually in OTL - they would not reach the Caspian, and would probably be only as far west as Tibet or so.
The Bulgars had been conquered by both the Rus and the Byzantines - the Byzantines get the portion of their dominions south of the Danube, the Russians get everything north of it, and the areas close to Dalmatia stay independent in a state of semi-anarchy. The area that would be roughly OTL Germany is in ATL still mostly pagan, and is populated by tribes of various organization such as the Prussians and the Lithuanians. The kingdoms of Norway and Denmark are by now separate entities, resulting from a dynastic split - however, they are still populated by people who are very similar ethnically, religiously, and linguistically. The Caliphate controls almost all of Indian subcontinent, with the exception of few areas opposing Ceylon which are independent but practically vassals of the Caliphate - pretty much the area that is attributed to Axum.
Southern border of Egypt goes about as far as it does in OTL modern Egypt, however, instead of OTL modern Egyptian borders, the area of Egyptian influence would be centered around the path of the Nile. As for Florida, the Vandals could definitely have it... I was thinking of writing in a few bits about their encounter with the Seminoles and the Cherokee, who thus form nation-states due to Vandal influence, so the Vandals may only get the coast of Florida, at least due to Seminoles possessing the interior.
All in all, when and if the Venetians or the Byzantines - or anyone else for that matter gets to Americas, they are going to be in for a few surprises... Not to mention what I have in mind for the future of the Venetian Empire... __________________

Nice update, midgardmetal, and nice map, G.Bone.
Just a few things, If the �Venetian� Empire has just reconquered Gaul, then hasn�t the last reason to keep the capital at Venice disappeared? Isn�t it safe for the Emperor to go back to Rome? Also, G.Bone, great map, but the Byzantine Boarder should be along the Danube, but it seems to spill quite a bit into Romania in your map. Anyway, that�s it, keep up the good work!

#140 March 22nd, 2005, 02:46 PM
Thank you! As far as the capital in Venice, by now it has been there for so long to where the entire system of government is located there, and the "Venetians" are reluctant to move. Moreover, it would still be closer to any potential action against the Lombards, Byzantines, and whoever else, and would still be a major naval base, which by now is one of the pillars on which "Venetian" Empire's power rests. What I was thinking of is to have the "Venetians" make Rome the official capital again, but still conduct all business from Venice, which is essentially the same as keeping the capital there.

Cylinders is the bomb.. also new album kinda confirmed? - The Chemical Brothers Forum
Cylinders is the bomb.. also new album kinda confirmed?
Topic - Jun 17, 2022, 09:17
Long time been here.. so excuse me if this is old news..
Lately seeing Tom and Ed in the studio again, so not really a surprise also
But listening to Lauren this morning with a lovely call in from Tom explaining how they created the track cylinders.. loads of random tv voices through flangers, phasers and what not (loving these insights!).
Lauren mentioned they are indeed working on a new album!
anyway.. super happy with all the old/new releases!

Ione - your a hero for that clip!
Cylinders is grand chemical revisit to the 90s for me. It's really lush track with that added effect that's similar to Fatboy Slims Next to Nothing.It gives me warm qualities that Ive gotten form KDB and also has a nice ambient that pulls me in like Another World does.
Gonna get first play when that vinyl hits my front door.
Toms take on the track is eye-opening. Tv to mixing desk to record and add effects to sounds and voices? Sounds like my day of staying home and lying down in the living room carpet with T and E providing ambient chemicals.

Cylinders c'est tres bien.

I'm obsessed with Cylinders at the moment. It just feels so warm. Like watching the sun come up after being snug under the stars. It's so good and so glad it's now shared.
Reply #4 - Jun 18, 2022, 07:33
Fantastic track, feels very cozy
Reply #5 - Jun 21, 2022, 23:39
Well, the bros said, that the album is in the making, but still kinda far from finish, but the two new trax, which were already debuted on december DJ sets simply slaps.
Also Cylinders was the last one track, that I was really expecting from the DYOH sessions, the Chems ambient, which was really surprising!

Superfood Diet Trial - Stress & IBS | Indigo Herbs Skip to main content
Superfood Diet Trial - Stress & IBS
What's the point of a blog when the mad woman doesn't update it? Well if I explained about the 35 litres of paint being put on walls, full house move, school holidays, dad access visits ... and please don't ask about the fun and games with my old laptop and of course my Internet connection. Talk about stress, phew! That's the excuses made, Now I'm back! Welcome to the Indigo Blog, ad hoc blogging about Superfoods in the daily diet of a very ordinary madwoman.
To give you the medical update, between this blog post and the last, I came off the Cerazette and had a period for 21 days ... I saw a consultant foot surgeon who said he could not help me (so at least no more operations for a while) and ran out of vitamin tablets! As far as smoothies went, there was a period of about a week and a half during the move when I just could not get organized enough to have fresh or frozen fruit in the house, or the rice milk (and trust me, it's NASTY if you use dairy). Like any new addition to an old routine, it's very easy to bring on the guilt at this point. "I should be having that smoothie, I'm being bad if I do not" and so on. Really? A house move is busy and stressful! The trial of superfoods is about trying a food supplement, not about a terrifying and restrictive regime to which I must stoically adhere.
This is am interesting point, actually. Anyone who knows a bit about wind will be aware that anxiety and stress can make it a million times worse. Some of the main symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and other functional gastrointestinal disorders are gas, trapped gas, bloating and abdominal pain. Anxiety causing huge exacerbation to these. Small changes, such as stress management (ie not feeling guilty) can have big results, as we all know. Having had initial problems with more severe than usual flatulence, I suspected the Barleygrass but this was not confirmed. Now I was worried that missing the smoothies for a while would mean my body systems would have to get used to them all over again. I actually found this not to be the case. I started back on the smoothies without modifying my everyday diet ( so bread, biscuits, wine etc were in there everyday) but I simply used less (a quarter teaspoon) of the Hemp, Maca and Barleygrass for the first few days – and no gas! By the end of the first week I was up to a small teaspoon of each with no ill effects! So I think it's fair to say that maybe my initial problems were really due to a gung-ho approach (as in, I can eat anything so in went the supplements too) when perhaps I should have introduced them into my diet more gently. I was also trying at the same time to eat more healthily, which meant a higher consumption of fruit and vegetables. Of course this is good (vitamins, dietary fiber etc), but the body has a delicate balance. Large changes, quickly done, and the machine will rebel. So I hold my hand up and say maybe relaxing about it and being gentle on myself have made a huge difference to the success of my mission so far for the last 2 weeks. And as a principle, that's not only good for my digestion but also for my general wellbeing. It seems this change in focus has made for a pretty good start on round 2 of my superfood challenge.

Forest management planning is a challenge due to the diverse criteria that need to be considered in the underlying decision-making process. This challenge becomes more complex in joint collaborative management areas (ZIF) because the decision now may involve numerous actors with diverse interests, preferences, and goals. In this research, we present an approach to identifying and quantifying the most relevant criteria that actors consider in a forest management planning process in a ZIF context, including quantifying the performance of seven alternative stand-level forest management models (FMM). Specifically, we developed a combined multicriteria decision analysis and group decision-making process by (a) building a cognitive map with the actors to identify the criteria and sub-criteria; (b) structuring the decision tree; (c) structuring a questionnaire to elicit the importance of criteria and sub-criteria in a pairwise comparison process, and to evaluate the FMM alternatives; and (d) applying a Delphi survey to gather actors' preferences. We report results from an application to a case study area, ZIF of Vale do Sousa, in North-Western Portugal. Actors assigned the highest importance to the criteria income (56.8% of all actors) and risks (21.6% of all actors) and the lowest to cultural services (27.0% of all actors). Actors agreed on their preferences for the sub-criteria of income (diversification of income sources), risks (wildfires) and cultural services (leisure and recreation activities). However, there was a poor agreement among actors on the sub-criteria of the wood demand and biodiversity criteria. For 27.0% of all actors the FMM with the highest performance was the pedunculate oak and for 43.2% of all actors the eucalypt FMM was the least preferable alternative. The findings indicate that this approach can support ZIF managers in enhancing forest management planning by improving its utility for actors and facilitating its implementation. View Full-Text

Can doctors determine the level or amount of drugs/medication in a blood test? ? | Yahoo Answers
meg asked in Science & MathematicsMedicine · 1 month ago
For example, if I took an extra dose or two of my medication and was administered a blood test the day after, would they be able to tell ?
They know the dose of the medication and your body weight. They know how fast the medication generally is excreted or breaks down. Depending on the time between you taking the extra dose and when they do the test they might be able to tell if you took more than you should have. I would say if they did the test the day after then they probably could not tell you took extra medication.
Why are you trying to hide the amount of medication you are taking or not taking?
You need to grow up and be honest about your health and what it will take to get there.
There's a reason for the dosing schedule and amounts given and there can be consequences to not adhering to that dosage. It's nothing to play with. The only person you are screwing over is yourself in the long run.

First of all, finding a realistic plan that you can follow for a long period of time is crucial. A common problem in weight loss is that it is often short-term or temporary. People lose weight but cannot keep it off and continue the bouncing game of fluctuating weight gain and loss, which can slow down metabolism, decrease muscle and tone, and make it even harder to maintain or lose weight over a longer period of time.

Dayton projects seek $6M tax credits for new offices, housing
The developer of the Wheelhouse Lofts hopes to transform the six-story building at 15 McDonough St. into offices. CORNELIUS FROLIK / STAFF
Ohio historic preservation tax credits deserve some credit for bringing new housing, restaurants and entertainment spaces to downtown Dayton.
But the state has millions more in tax credits to award this summer, and a couple of local projects hope to get a share.
Weyland Ventures, the Kentucky firm behind the Wheelhouse Lofts and Troll Pub at the Wheelhouse, has requested $1.8 million in credits to rehab the Dayton Motor Car building at 15 McDonough St.
RELATED: As $8M Wheelhouse wraps up, here's what's next for developer
The firm proposes converting the six-story building into new offices and commercial space aimed at professional services including creative types and knowledge-based businesses that want to be near downtown.
Some of the building could be occupied by Gosiger, which is a robotics and technology company that has its headquarters nearby, according to the tax credit application. The motor car building has open floor space and large windows offering abundant natural light.
"It's a raw shell right now, and we would be totally renovating the building," said Lee Weyland, director of commercial leasing for Weyland Ventures. "It would have the character of the historic building but all the modern amenities and infrastructure that office users expect."
Weyland Ventures has talked about rehabbing the building for at least a couple of years. The firm unsuccessfully applied for $5 million state historic tax credits in the state's last funding round.
But in the last round, there was stiff local competition from the Dayton Arcade, which was awarded $4 million in credits in December after winning $5 million in incentives six months earlier.
Weyland Ventures say they hope to open the new office building in late 2019, early 2020.
RELATED: $40 million investment planned to extend Oregon District
The Wheelhouse Lofts and Troll Pub, located on the 200 block of Wayne Ave near the Oregon Historic District, were developed with the help of about $1.9 million in tax credits that the state awarded in late 2014.
The lofts building, formerly a plumbing supply business, has 40 apartments and ground floor retail space. Troll Pub, which opened in the ground floor of the industrial facility, is a restaurant and bar that officially opened on St. Patrick's Day.
Weyland Ventures has proposed creating a vibrant district called Oregon East that extends the Oregon District east of Wayne Avenue.
The 20-year plan would be a blend of adaptive reuse and new construction, including new apartments, owner-occupied housing, entertainment, offices and restaurants, Weyland said.
"We want to create a dense, urban neighborhood that extends the vitality of the Oregon District and creates a mixed-use district," Weyland said.
Another tax credit request was submitted by the ownership of the Fidelity building, which is located at 211 S. Main St. The Fidelity project, which has requested $5 million funding from the state, asked for the same amount in past rounds but was denied.
In the last round, the group asked for credits to rehab the 11-story structure, which has been vacant since 2009. The group has proposed spending more than $20 million to create about 94 residential units and ground-floor retail space.
Dayton has a mixed record with state historic tax credit projects.
Tax credits helped fiance the overhaul of a commercial building next to Fifth Third Field into 133 apartments called the Delco Lofts. Lock 27 Brewing opened in a renovated space on the ground floor of the structure. The Steam Plant at 617 E. Third St. was renovated into offices and an event space using tax credits.
Also, the group redeveloping the Dayton Arcade say historic preservation incentives are essential pieces of their financing package.
But the developers of the Fire Blocks District won nearly $4.5 million in state historic tax credits in June 2016 to help fund the restoration of two buildings.
The project, however, is at risk of having those credits rescinded by the state unless the development team can prove they have financing for the project by the end of June.
The Centre City building at 40 S. Main St. was awarded $5 million in credits in December 2016 to create housing and retail. There has not, however, been obvious work done at the property.
The developer has not returned repeated requests for comment. A past owner of the building obtained tax credits but returned them to the state after the project did not move forward.
Other local project proposals that won awards failed to gain traction and forfeited their tax credit awards.

We love you. Thanks. ;)
You are so kind, thanks for your positive FB. Everyday we do our best to satisfy our guests and our B&B is really so nice! Thanks again. :)
Pros: The check-in was fast, the room was good size and bathroom was good size. The breakfast was good.
Cons: The air conditioning restriction should be removed, because it gets very hot in July at night in Florence, when window is closed.
Location: The location is closer to train station (less than a mile), Michelangelo's David and Piazza del Duomo.
I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. The toilet seat was broken and air conditioning only works from 2 P.M. - 10 P.M., when you are not in the room and does not work when you really need it after you come back after 10 P.M., sweating from your long walk. We could not open the Windows because of mosquitoes. The location is not that close to main food places, but breakfast was good.
Cozy b&b located in northern area of Florence, friendly helpful staff, clean facility, easy walk down one Main Street to the landmarks

Extraterritorial Enforcement of Fundamental Rights after Google v CNIL – The EU Law Live Blog
Extraterritorial Enforcement of Fundamental Rights after Google v CNIL
In Data, Tech & IP, Human Rights, Institutional Law
The judgment of the Court of Justice in case C-507/17 Google v CNIL addresses the territorial scope of the 'right to be forgotten' (RTBF). In its earlier landmark ruling Google Spain, the Court held that search engine operators may be obliged to de-reference personal data, removing them from the results returned by the search engine. However, neither the Court in Google Spain nor the EU legislature when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) determined whether de-referencing should be carried out on a worldwide basis or exclusively within the EU.
In Google v CNIL, the Court reached three conclusions. First, EU law does not require de-referencing to take place on versions of the search engine in third countries. Second, search engine operators are 'in principle' required to carry out de-referencing on all national versions corresponding to EU Member States, although the judgment hints at possible exceptions to the uniform application of the RTBF even within the EU. Finally, search engine operators must take effective measures to prevent, or at least seriously discourage, access to the relevant links from users located in a Member State (such as through geoblocking).
The Court relied on four arguments against the need for global de-referencing: 1) the lack of global consensus on RTBF; 2) the necessary balancing exercise between the right to data protection and other fundamental rights; 3) the lack of guidance from the legislature; 4) the absence in the GDPR of cooperation mechanisms concerning de-referencing outside the EU.
The judgment has been hailed as a major victory by freedom of expression activists. However, the Court has not precluded the extraterritorial enforcement of the RTBF outright. First, it has implicitly rejected Google's argument that worldwide de-referencing would be contrary to international law, holding that it is the EU legislature that would have the power to impose such an obligation. Second, it has also made clear that EU law does not prohibit Member States from requiring that the RTBF be enforced extraterritorially.
Overall, the judgment reads like a deferential exercise. Deference towards the EU legislature, whose intentions the Court refused to second-guess but which remains free to strengthen the extraterritorial reach of data protection rules if it so wishes. But deference also towards national supervisory and judicial authorities, bodies that are able to decide whether or not global de-referencing is required when balancing privacy rights and freedom of information 'in the light of national standards' of fundamental rights protection.
Given the prominence of privacy and data protection in recent Court case law and the widespread publicity the Google litigation has attracted, it is tempting to draw broader conclusions from this judgment on the extraterritorial reach (or lack thereof) of EU fundamental rights. One should be wary of such generalizations, as the Court's reasoning is heavily dependent on the specificities of EU data protection legislation. However, the prudent approach followed in Google v CNIL suggests that the Court of Justice may also defer to national law on the extraterritorial effects of injunctions to host providers in the pending case C-18/18 Glawischnig-Piesczek.
Dr. Alberto Miglio is a postdoctoral researcher at the Law Department of the University of Turin. His most recent publications include 'Enforcing the Right to Be Forgotten beyond EU Borders', in E. Carpanelli, N. Lazzerini (Eds), Use and Misuse of New Technologies. Contemporary Challenges in International and European Law, Springer, 2019, p. 305-326, and 'Setting Borders to Forgetfulness: AG Suggests Limiting the Scope of the Search Engine Operators' Obligation to Dereference Personal Data', EDPL 1/2019, p. 136-141.

Wood Is Good: John Gallis | John Gallis Norseman Designs West | (307) 587-7777
Wood Is Good: John Gallis
When award-winning Cody, Wyo., woodcrafter John Gallis of Norseman Designs West makes a foray into the woods in search of inspiration, or raw material for the fine art objects he creates from trees, you might envision him taking time to enjoy the scenery, inhale a deep breath of the piney air, and relaxing.
But Gallis, who is filled with endless artistic and creative energy, confesses that he has a big problem in such a circumstance: he can't see the forest for the furniture.
"Look at all those chairs and loveseats," he enthuses as he strolls.
"When I go to the woods, I see furniture."
To Gallis, a gnarled old native cedar tree, for example, is not merely the backdrop for a grizzly bear meandering past. It's nice to see a bear, of course. But Gallis wants the bear to get on with its life and leave the neighborhood so he can safely examine the tree in question for the furniture possibilities it offers. Its curved branches, forked trunk, knotty burls or healed-over wood wounds might make an interesting element in a desk, table or buffet, and he is eager to get busy studying his options.
"Before I cut a big old juniper tree, I ask it, 'What do you want to give me?'" he says. "If I can't get anything out of it, I won't touch it."
Where another person on a woodsy outing might merely see a worm-eaten tree that has fallen to the forest floor, Gallis sees artistic treasure: textures, twists and patterns in the wood that might make unique highlights for his future furniture. And not just any furniture, but pieces like the graceful but sturdy fly-tying desk that recently reposed in Gallis' showroom. It has a price tag of $25,000.
"Who needs a $25,000 fly-tying desk?" Gallis says. But he is aiming not only to build fine pieces of furniture, but to take the word "starving" away from the word "artist," and to see works sold for the time, creative energy and art that has gone into their creation.
Gallis' artistic passion is evident to anyone who visits his "dream shop" on – what else – Cottonwood Street, at the eastern edge of Cody.
The shop is fitted with an array of woodworking tools and a built-in vacuuming system. The workroom often is powdered with a patina of fine brown sawdust from the super-finishing that goes into his satiny furniture. Against one wall leans a supply of wood slabs and twists. Some wood he has collected has been tortured by nature, while some was buried temporarily underground (spalted) to give it the interesting crackly textures the artist likes to use for tiny cupboard doors and other components.
Gallis' blue-grey eyes alight as he describes the uses he envisions for this mighty slab of wood from Africa or that chunk from Pennsylvania's Amish country.
"See how this piece has a gentle natural curve?" he says. "That will become a headboard for a bed. This piece was cut in two twin halves; they will be the matching 'bookmatched' arms of a loveseat someday. I've been saving them for several years."
Behind the shop are rows and rows of more slender bits of wood that strongly resemble an elongated version of the dwelling of A.A. Milne's fictional Eeyore the Donkey, who lived in a shelter fashioned from sticks. But to Gallis, each twig is being seasoned for a higher purpose, even if he has not yet settled on what that will be. The "sticks" are to Gallis what a diamond mine might be to a jeweler – raw material to be cut, crafted, shaped, sanded down, trimmed up, made beautiful and brought back to life.
Maybe Gallis is so keen to breathe life back into the wood because he was brought back to it about a year ago at West Park Hospital in Cody after he "flat-lined" in the middle of a second heart attack.
While awaiting a helicopter to take him to Billings, Mont., he was given last rites by his priest. He survived a quintuple bypass and is grateful for the gift of having his life back.
"I always feel there's just one more great piece inside me, and I have to get it done," Gallis said. For that reason he keeps a notepad and pencil by his bed, so he can sketch out ideas that come to him in the night.
The single most influential event in his own life, he says, was the death of his father when Gallis, who is 57, was 13 and living in Long Island, N.Y. He now feels compelled to achieve what he can in the time he has, to leave a powerful legacy: a family both in flesh (he and his wife, Eileen, have four children), and another in wood.
He applies all that he learned in 14 years as chief cabinetmaker for Bloomingdale's in New York City, which was less art and more "physics" than his present work, as well as how to make wealthy folks feel "catered to" as he listens to their ideas and puts them down in wood.
At the high-rise buildings where he built cabinets to others' specifications, Gallis said the challenge was "to fit 10 pounds of potatoes into a five-pound sack." In other words, to build what the customer wanted, then make sure it would fit in their high-rise homes and could be delivered via elevator.
Though it was a quantum leap from installing plywood and 2x4 cabinets and bookshelves in Trump Tower and other spendy city spots, to making stylish western furniture in Wyoming, Gallis has remained true to the Norse tradition that he has adopted as his own.
"The Norsemen were the first good woodworkers," he says. "Just look at their ships."
Standing a lean 5 feet 11 inches tall, Gallis cultivates a blonde goatee and moustache, and a Viking demeanor.
"I once wanted to be a forest ranger," says Gallis, who knew he would prefer to be his own boss and to work around trees and fashion things with his hands.
"I took some classes, but I could never remember the Latin names of all those trees. So I decided to work with the wood instead."
"I'm still enthusiastic about what I get to do every day," Gallis says. "I start working with different scraps of wood, and at the end of the week I end up with a piece of furniture that will outlive all of us."
From 1995 to 1997, Gallis worked as a craftsman for the late Mike Patrick at Cody's New West Furniture, making his own pieces after hours and storing them at home. "They all had to be childproof," because they were part of the Gallis household until they could be taken to shows and ultimately sold, he says.
Sometimes it is difficult to part with special pieces, but "I know I am supporting my family," Gallis explained. And crafting fine furniture that appears at many shows, such as the Western Design Conference, where it wins recognition and honors, is rewarding."
"I've been doing this 'work' for 24 years, and it's never been work," he says. "If you're not passionate about your work, why do it? You're already dead."
He focuses on Art Nouveau design, mixed with elements of Shaker style ("honesty of joinery and sleek lines,") and a "relaxed freedom – kind of like nature, very organic, very sensuous" he says.
In the east, Gallis studied for a time with Daniel Mack, a maker of Adirondack furniture, and learned to enjoy using found items in his pieces. He also studied with Oka Tugal, who opened his shop in Seacliff, N.Y., on weekends to up-and-coming artisans.
"Everything I did prior was to get ready to be here," says Gallis, who is aided in his shop by foreman Tim Goodwin, Amish furniture maker Mike Esch, and apprentices Kyle Henze and Gallis' own son, Ian, who is 20.
"I have to experiment with myself and with my furniture, using my hands. It comes naturally, very natural," Gallis says of his highly original designs. Being stuck in an office cubicle, doing something you hate – that's a prison sentence," Gallis says. He focuses instead on his love of life, which flows into the wood he works with.
"I translate that love into each piece of furniture," he explains.
Gallis says he always hopes to hear people who have ordered custom pieces tell him, "John, it's better than I expected."
"If they can see my excitement, then they get it," he says, recalling the time a blind woman came to the Western Design Conference with her husband. He was describing to her the cantilevered desk Gallis had crafted with just one support rather than two to hold up its substantial top.
"She was kind of perplexed," Gallis said. "Then she felt the space where the second support normally would have been, and she waved her arms gently around it. A big smile crossed her face. I know she could see the desk. She got it. It was a great experience because I momentarily was able to give her sight, and to give her pleasure."
Gallis plans to submit pieces for the upcoming Western Design Conference, which will return to Jackson Hole instead of Cody this fall. He will also participate in the new Cody High Style Invitational, which will be held Sept. 19-22 at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center.
Wally Reber, associate director of the BBHC, also served for a time as curator of the decorative arts collection. Reber says Gallis "feels a responsibility to the wood to give it a new life."
Gallis, Reber adds, also brought an entirely new concept to the design of western furniture.
"He formed and shaped the wood, and used the wood's curves," not merely applied tops to rustic logs and called it a desk or a table, Reber said. "For us, it was a fresh perspective on western furniture."
In addition, Gallis "has a real relationship with his furniture," including the idea that people do not so mulch purchase it as adopt it, Reber adds. "He wants to make sure he has the best child possible."
Gallis has won 10 awards at past Western Design Conferences, including the coveted Switchback Award. One of his, "Eileen's Loveseat" is on permanent display at the BBHC; it is the original Gallis fashioned for his wife one year when they first came to Cody and he had no money to buy her a Christmas gift.
Gallis finds it a mixed blessing to have the piece at the museum.
Being selected was a high honor, to be sure, but he said men "wearing white gloves" came to fetch it when he delivered it.
"A curator told me, 'Say goodbye to it, because this is the last time anyone will touch it.'"
But Gallis builds his pieces to be touched and used, as a sculptor would his art.
"There are a lot of laborers in the world, a lot of craftsmen, but there are not nearly enough artists," Gallis says.
Gallis allows the natural form of wood to define his pieces, as in the found juniper used in this Club Chair.
The Juniper Club Chair with applied juniper on the sides and chair back.

A detail of the inside section of the desk that shows Gallis' artful craftmanship.
A 10-foot-long wall unit desk made of walnut. The unit has book matched door panels with antler handles, juniper applied poles and legs and a roll top that covers the desk area when needed.

I was absolutely going to buy reusable bags at Smith's yesterday (After I read this) but low and behold I didn't remember too until I got home. I'm blaming that one on the pregnancy brain :) Next time.
I swear remembering to use the reusable bags is 2/3 of the battle. Last time I went to the store I brought in two bags, but still ended up carrying out a regular paper bag too...

Educational institutions are rightly focused on the needs of their students, which can mean that they neglect important IT functions, such as making a backup and recovery plan or taking steps to protect their organization’s data and systems against a cyber attack. Many schools and universities have tight budgets, which can make it difficult for them to hire the in-house staff that would be needed to manage the large and complex IT systems most educational institutions rely on.
Schools and universities often have more IT users than most businesses. When every staff member and every student has an account on the university IT systems, it is important to make data security a high priority. Students today expect to be able to log into their educational accounts using both desktop and mobile devices, which although extremely convenient can present an additional security risk.
When you consider bringing an IT company on board to help you manage your school’s IT and security systems, it is important to ask whether the provider has experience of working with educational institutions. IT companies that have only worked with commercial businesses may not understand the particular security and IT management challenges that schools face.
Explore Solutions for IT Infrastructure
In an educational institution, the IT infrastructure and network must be designed to meet the needs of staff and students. Universities and schools often rely heavily on ageing intranet systems, which need to be updated with more modern systems that make it easy for users to find the content they need.
For example, a university in London recently realized its limited first generation intranet system was hopelessly out of date. By partnering with a suitable IT company, the university was able to select and set up an integrated enterprise content management system (ECMS), which provided a content platform for both internal and external collaborators. This helped people working or studying at the university to easily find out about ongoing research and access vast respositiories of useful information.
To find the ideal IT infrastructure design for your educational institution, the best approach is to work with an IT company that understands the unique needs of schools and universities. Such a partner can help you set up a network that can deliver content to all your students, staff, and external collaborators.
Don’t Neglect Security
With a growing number of cyber threats targeting universities and schools, network security must be high on your list of priorities when selecting an IT company. Ask potential IT providers how they will keep your educational institution safe from cyber security threats, such as malware, phishing, and ransomware.
Any good IT company will be eager to help your organization set up a solid backup and disaster recovery strategy. For an educational institution, data loss can be disastrous. Your IT network likely holds thousands of educational resources, each of which took hours to prepare, along with important work belonging to students and researchers. Protect all this data by partnering with an IT company that understands the importance of backing up educational data. Your IT provider should also help you put a rapid recovery strategy in place, so you can recover data fast enough to prevent students and employees missing important deadlines.
Consider Cost Savings
Sticking to a tight budget is almost always a concern for schools and universities. A good IT company will work with you to find solutions that help to lower your ongoing IT costs. For example, a voice over IP (VoIP) service can reduce the cost of calls your institution needs to make. Cloud computing can also be a cost-effective solution, with much lower upfront costs than purchasing servers and software. When choosing an IT company, be sure to select a provider who can offer you a good deal on cloud computing services, which experts predict will be the future of computing for a wide range of organizations, including schools and universities.
How to Find an IT Company for Your School or University
When choosing an IT company for your school or university, look for a company with many years of experience of serving organizations similar to yours. Ask other local educational institutions for recommendations, and read client testimonials on the websites of IT providers, as well as looking for reviews on third-party sites. You also need to speak directly to the IT company to ensure they are prepared to take the time to understand the unique computing needs of your insitution. By following all these tips, you can get the IT support you need to help your school thrive.

What is Limited Liability Partnership? Look up the Limited Liability Partnership definition and meaning
LLP stands for Limited Liability Partnership and represents a business structure in Singapore that creates a separate legal entity. It requires fewer compliance activities than a private limited company, for example, there’s no need to file annual returns. Each partner is taxed with personal tax off their individual income. If one of the partners is a company, it is taxed with corporate tax, but the LLP is not eligible for corporate tax exemptions. Setting up a limited liability partnership is an alternative to setting up a company and registering as a sole propritetorship.
LLP is the newest form of business entity in Singapore, having been introduced in 2005. It is aimed to combine some of the characteristics of LLC and a partnership. It is mostly designed for several professionals (lawyers, architects, etc.) to be able to build a joint practice. It is important to specify the management responsibilities and the profits structure in the partnership agreement. The biggest advantage is LLP creates a separate legal entity, this shielding the partners from financial risks. It is similar to LLC this way, however, there are fewer responsibilities in terms of reporting. For example, you don’t need to file annual returns.
Both companies and individuals can become partners in an LLP, but you need at least two partners at all times. An individual will be taxed at personal tax rate on his or her income, while a company will be taxed at a corporate rate. However, the LLP itself is not eligible for the tax exemptions for SME (SUTE and PTE schemes). These are only options for LLC holders.
An example of LLP would be as follows. You want to create a company that services to every need in the baking business. You join your existing company called “Cupcakes of the world Pte LTD”, yourself, and your friend, a macaron expert, into an LLP and you call it “The Bakers United LLP”. The new partnership offers services as a cupcake shop, a consultancy on cupcakes, and a consultancy on macarons.
Limited Liability Partnership Agreement, which is also called a member's agreement, is a contract between the LLP partners or the LLP and its designated partners. It contains the basic information about the duties and the rights of the partners towards each other and the LLP. LLP contract establishes a fair relationship between all the members.
The partners contribute equal capital share and efforts in the LLP. All losses and profits are shared equally as well.

Sajjad TARAKZAI and Anne CHAON - Mohammad Anwar arrived in Pakistan as a child more than 35 years ago but is leaving as a father, his family among the thousands of uprooted Afghan refugees "returning" to a war-torn homeland many of them have never seen.
"We can't forget the time we passed here, we were treated like brothers," he tells AFP.
"Insha'Allah, we will come here again, this time with passports."
But as the fight against the Soviets morphed into civil war, Taliban rule, the US invasion and the grinding conflict in Afghanistan today, even Pakistan's famed hospitality has run out.
Pakistan hosts 1.4 million registered Afghan refugees , according to UNHCR, making it the third-largest refugee hosting nation in the world. A UNHCR official said the agency also estimates a further one million unregistered refugees are in the country.
More than 200,000 have crossed this year, the vast majority since July - including nearly 98,000 in September alone, says UNHCR.
But first they will pass the Torkham frontier, a mountainous outpost where - until this year - border "controls" were more of a suggestion, and thousands crossed each day with impunity.
With a resurgent Taliban in control of roughly one third of Afghanistan's districts, many returning refugees will travel no further than Kabul.
While Afghanistan's minister for refugees, speaking at a UNHCR meeting in Geneva, said more than one million people have been internally displaced in Afghanistan, and asked host countries "to stop forceful expulsion of Afghan refugees and instead pave the way for the registration of undocumented refugees".
"The police harassed us, they cut the water and electricity in the camp... it was better to leave," he says.

Soul whispers are what we feel while gazing at the night sky, or watching clouds merge and transform on a sunny day. They are that subtle sense that we are connected to the bird bathing in a stream, and to the wind moving leaves on a tree. The soul whispers to us that we are connected to the person sitting at the next table in a restaurant, and to the hungry child on the television screen. The feeling of awe when we watch the full moon rise and the stars brighten is our soul reminding us that we are part of the vastness. The whispers tell us that we all have the Divine spark within us that longs to be reunited in the Light. The words in this collection may be healing, calming, or thought-provoking, you choose. They may spark something deep inside that brings pen to hand, prompting you to write your own soul’s whispers, or they may simply encourage a few minutes of peace. Find stillness and let your soul renew your spirit with its whispers.

Casino Games - Poker: Conn. casinos send busses for Asians
Conn. casinos send
busses for Asians
Aug 29, 2006 5:37 AM
While Las Vegas gaming operators pursue Chinese customers in Asian markets such as Macau, two Connecticut Indian casinos do the same thing on the homefront"¦Chinatowns in New York and Boston.
Each day, Foxwoods Resorts Casino and Mohegan Sun send out at least 100 buses to Asian neighborhoods in New York City and Boston seeking players of Chinese, Vietnamese, Cambodian and Korean descent.
And the players respond.
"We call it entertainment," says Ernie Wu, director of Asian marketing at Foxwoods. "We don't say it's gambling. Our Asian blood loves to feel the luck."
Those taking the buses explain that many U.S. pastimes require fluency in English. For some, it's difficult to understand the sport being played at Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park. Also, the costs of some American pastimes can be prohibitive.
Asian casino games such as Pai Gow poker are their favorites.
When one of the Asians enters a bus to Foxwoods, he pays $10 for the round-trip fare but at the casino he is given a $12 food coupon and a $40 gambling coupon at no additional cost. Mohegan Sun customers also pay $10 in bus fare and are given a $15 meal voucher and a $20 gambling coupon.
The practice of catering to Asian customers is not new. A half-century ago, a New England racetrack designated one day of its race meeting as "Boston Chinatown Day" and entertained busloads of horse players while many of the wives and children spent the day at a nearby amusement park.

411: The Rock To Return To WWE, Ellicott City Hosting Harry Potter Weekend | Francesca | 93.1 WPOC
411: The Rock To Return To WWE, Ellicott City Hosting Harry Potter Weekend
The artist formally known as the Rock announced on social media that he will be taking part in Friday's big relaunch of Smackdown, which is making its star-studded Fox debut
The last time he was on the roster was way back in 2004, but he's made sporadic appearances here & there-- The Rock hasn't appeared inside a WWE ring since WrestleMania in 2016
Ellicott City Holding A Harry Potter Wizarding Weekend
If you're a Harry Potter fan, you might want to head down to Ellicott City this weekend when the town will host its Wizarding Weekend on Magical Main (Street)
Starting Saturday morning several stores and restaurants along Ellicott City's Main Street will transform into its own Diagon Alley, hosting wizarding activities, discounts and special Harry Potter themed menus
Wizarding attire is highly encouraged — so grab your wands, brooms and robes.
A costume contest will be held on Saturday plus live music, a DJ and a magical scavenger hunt, a ghost hunt, & more
It's official…we're headed back to Hawkins for at least 1 more season, or are we?
Yesterday Netflix dropped a teaser trailer to let us all know Stranger Things season 4 is coming….we didn't learn basically anything other than a new season is coming, but at the end the phrase "We're not in Hawkins anymore" came across your screens
Creators Matt and Ross Duffer also signed a multi-year overall deal (terms not disclosed) to create films and television series for Netflix, so more Stranger Things type content could be on the way
Thanks to Ray Lewis dropping out of the competition due to a foot injury, there were no eliminations on DWTS last night
Lauren Alaina kicked off Movie Night off with some Pretty Woman inspiration dancing to "Oh, Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbison-- The country singer even wore a version of that slinky dress paired with the thigh-high black boots that Julia Roberts made famous in the movie
The judges were impressed, calling it a "racy tango" and giving the pair a high score of 20.
20/30 is pretty good however it was only good enough to land her in the middle of the pack—James Van Der Beek, Kate Flannery form The Office, Sailor Brinkley Cook, Alley Brooke & Bachelorette Hannah Brown all scored higher so Lauren is gonna have to pick it up next week!

Both companies have tested robotaxis in the state for years. Cruise has almost exclusively tested its vehicles in San Francisco. Waymo has conducted test operations both around its Mountain View headquarters and, more recently, focused on San Francisco's streets with its fifth-generation self-driving system as a precursor to commercial service.

As Person went into the legends and historic elements associated with the bridge, he mentioned battles that took place in the Civil War period where hundreds were killed. The battlefields were near Crawford Road.
Investigators, ghost hunters, movie directors and even regular York County drivers all seem to have a Crawford Road story.
Some is legend, some fact; all of it should discourage people from hanging around in an area that may be haunted but is most definitely dangerous, according to the officers.

The Solar Storm with Kyle Hunt 5/28/2017
Kyle spoke with Dennis Wise about his film The Greatest Story Never Told and asked him about the many arguments that are put forth to make it seem like Hitler was actually working for the jews. They then bring the discussion up to the present days and discuss the issues plaguing our world and what we could do to counter this formidable foe. Show-page

EXCELLENT work Kyle!!! The key is what a caller said, we need EVERYONE to wake up. Its about EVERYONE against the Jews. We need EVERYONE on the same side. Dont push the race convo because it gets people stuck in a ditch. We only need to keep talking about JEW crimes, what they do, why the world is the way it is, and how we can change it as a whole. EVERYONE needs to wake up.
5/31/2017 08:02:00 PM
When every race hears what Jews do to children that is key to waking up. It enrages everyone the same way.

Jay Z’s 4:44 album has been receiving great reviews from a lot of critics. Anti-Defamation League is not so happy about certain lyrics that was used on the record “The Story Of O.J. where the rapper says ” You wanna know what’s more important than throwin’ away money at a strip club? Credit / You ever wonder why Jewish people own all the property in America? This how they did it.”
The ADL made a statement “The idea that Jews ‘own all the property’ in this country and have used credit to financially get ahead are odious and false,” a spokesperson for the organization said. “Yet, such notions have lingered in society for decades, and we are concerned that this lyric could feed into preconceived notions about Jews and alleged Jewish ‘control’ of the banks and finance.”

Justin does Suburban Commando | Mutant Reviewers From Hell
Justin does Suburban Commando 1 comment
Justin's Review: For some reason, people who are highly successful as a celebrity in one area seem to naturally assume they'll be awesome in other categories as well. And thus you get writers attempting to be rock stars (Stephen King), models pretending to be actors (Paris Hilton), actors striving to be politicians (Arnold Schwartzenegger), and singers embarrassing themselves all over the place (Britney Spears, anyone who's ever been on American Idol, Mariah Carey). Why we have to humor their sad attempts at cross-genre appeal is beyond me, except that sometimes it's an amusing diversion to see someone humiliate themselves so thoroughly.
Enter wrestlers who think that the large crowds cheering them on nightly are actually chanting "ACT! ACT! ACT IN A FEATURE FILM!", and suddenly we're plagued with Dwayne Johnson, Jesse Ventura and Hulk Hogan trying to clog our movie arteries. Of course, I can't blame the Hulk too much – if I had that moustache, I'd think I was capable of anything too.
You'd naturally assume that a movie starring a wrestler who plays a space commando forced to hide out in suburban Earth for a few weeks would be appallingly bad. And it is, don't get me wrong. But unlike many bad movies we've covered on this site, Suburban Commando is wall-to-wall entertaining, even through its silly machinations. It was obviously made for young kids who idolized the WWF/WWE back in the day, and as such, there's no shortage of cartoony stunts, not-so-snappy one-liners, and thoroughly ridiculous situations that everyone takes in stride as matter of fact.

Epic Minds Mental Health Testimonial Videos | From The Hip Video Production
Epic Minds - Testimonial Video
3 testimonial videos for the Epic Minds campaign website for the NHS Early Intervention in Psychosis team
The NHS Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) team wanted 3 testimonial videos for their website, to support their Epic Minds mental health awareness campaign. Each video needed to show how the support and early treatment by the EIP team had helped those who had used the service to go on and lead brighter futures.
The testimonials were inspiring and we wanted the videos to do justice to the stories. We combined traditional talking to camera with outdoor filming, using the beauty of natural light and sunshine to demonstrate the brighter futures that had been provided to those who had used the EIP service.
We are proud to have been part of the Epic Minds campaign and to have supported the superb team at the NHS EIP raise awareness of the importance of mental health. The 3 testimonial videos can be seen at https://epicminds.co.uk/epic-stories/

Centrality And Supremacy Of Christ : The Joy Of The Lord Is Greater
The Joy Of The Lord Is Greater
I had this dream that felt so real. In the dream I was captured by Islamic terrorist, and they were about to take me away, but strangely I didn't look or feel like someone that was captured by terrorist. I was filled with Joy, and I kept saying, "thank you Jesus". I wasn't thanking him because I was captured or whatever, I was just thanking him because that was all that was in my heart.
I was dancing slowly and thanking the Lord, I was worshipping and adoring him, I was overwhelmed with joy from within, and it has nothing to do with the fact that I was being captured. I am always filled with the joy of the Lord, and my situation at that time didn't change or affect the joy in my heart. In fact, I didn't care about what was happening to me at that time, I was just busy adoring my beautiful Jesus, he is just so awesome, and it doesn't matter what happens to me or what is being done to me, all I know is my God is just so adorable.
Well, you might say that is just a dream, but I know myself and I know what I can do. I remember one time I was in a bus which was about to have an accident. I was at the front seat with no seat belt on. The driver lost control and was almost running over several vehicles on the road. Everyone in the bus were screaming, some were even shouting, "Jesus". I was just so excited, in my mind I was saying things like, "wow, I can't believe today is the day, I am finally going to meet my sweetheart and be with him for eternity. Oh, it's so wonderful, what a great day. Everything is just perfect, this is the first time I am seating at the front seat of a bus on a journey, and look I am not wearing seat belt, everything is just so perfect, I am going to die today and be with my Lord".
I was just so excited, I had begin to imagine in my mind how the driver will collide with one of the vehicle and how I will hit my head and die right away. But then I begin to say to myself, "what if I end up in an hospital? No I don't want to end up in an hospital, I want to die straight away". Then I decided to talk to God and tell Him to make sure I don't end up in an hospital, but die straight away. As I was saying this prayer God told me I am not going to die today. "Oh, no! Whyyyyy! And I am already so excited about dying", that was my response.
Hey, I am not someone with a suicidal tendency, I am just so excited about God that no situation whatsoever can affect or change that. I have been in situations where it feels like my world is crumbling upon me, but then I get up and dance, and worship God as usual, I am always so excited about Him (as long as my walk with Him is good, as long as I am not rebelling in one way or the other). I believe this was the same way Paul and Silas felt when they were imprisoned. They were just beaten severely and thrown into prison, yet the joy of the Lord in their hearts was so overwhelming that they began to sing so loudly, worshipping the Lord.
Then came an earthquake, the prison doors broke open, but they didn't even bother, they were so caught up in rapturous worship to even think about escaping. You see, it just doesn't matter what is happening or what had happened, the joy of the Lord surpasses it all. People were wondering how Paul was able to face daring situations, difficult circumstances and perilous events and still continue to press on with the gospel. And then Paul answered and said, "the joy of the Lord is my strength".
The Joy of the Lord is so overwhelming that he didn't see the death staring at him in the face, he didn't see the danger dancing all round him, he just kept pressing on. Yes, the Joy of the Lord is greater than all the death threats in the world, all the affliction, all the suffering and difficulties, all the challenges and barriers, all the fear and frustration. That feeling of just knowing you are right with God, you are justified, you are in right standing, right relationship with the heavenly Father, that feeling of having this beautiful Christ, knowing that he is yours and you are his for eternity, it is just so amazing, such overwhelming joy.
At this state it doesn't matter what they do to you, they can torture you, imprison you, threaten you with death etc, it just doesn't matter. It doesn't affect how you feel, it cannot quench the joy inside. We've all tasted that joy when we got saved, but at some point we lost that sweet relationship with God and we begin to struggle. May the Lord bring you back to that state and cause you to abide in it, for it is indeed the most wonderful thing in the world.

Tales from the river bank: Exploring the Grand Union Canal by narrowboat - Birmingham Live
Tales from the river bank: Exploring the Grand Union Canal by narrowboat
14:32, 6 AUG 2013
Mat and Luke chill out
We picked up Jim at Kate's on a sunny Saturday afternoon in late June.
Kate Boats in Warwick, that is.
Jim, you see, is all of 58ft long, sleeps six and soon became an old friend.
He's a narrowboat.
Before we set about circumnavigating the Grand Union Canal we had a comprehensive tour of our five-star boat, its safety features and the rules of the waterways.
Rich, from Kate Boats, then took the helm and showed us the ropes (quite literally), the steering, and how to successfully operate a lock, before turning the boat around and leaving us in charge.
Not forgetting to leave us a small list of daily tasks which included filling the tank with water (though even with four of us having a shower each day we didn't need to fill up often), checking the oil, water and grease, and making sure nothing had got caught in the rudder.
Jim comes fully equipped with a full-sized oven, fridge, microwave, flushable toilet, very efficient shower, two TVs and was very clean and comfortable for our party of two adults and two 16-year-old boys.
Having only four of us on a six-berth boat meant that the twin-bedded room at the back of the boat could always be left as a bedroom, and not cleared away each day to be a living area.
The double bed was fixed, too, so it meant that we permanently had a lounge area at the front of the boat where we could relax or very simply put up a small table or two.
And although the TV signal was intermittent and couldn't be relied upon, bringing an xbox to set up with the TV in the boys' room was an excellent idea, keeping them busy when they weren't steering the boat, managing the locks and helping other holidaymakers with their boats, too.
Jim the 58ft narrowboat
Having grabbed a few basics from the supermarket, we untied the ropes and headed off down the Grand Union Canal towards Leamington Spa.
Our journey took us through some beautiful scenery, past some delightful pubs and introduced us to a wide range of narrowboat enthusiasts.
Some, like us, were renting a boat for a weekend; others were spending a week; some six months on and six months off their own vessel; some lived exclusively on the canal.
Our first night was spent moored alongside the Two Boats and the Cuttle Inn at Long Itchington. Unfortunately, we arrived too late to try their evening meals, but both pubs looked well equipped to refuel tourists, with tables on the canal bank, food menus and free wi-fi.
Many boaters were sharing their experiences with the family pet – it was not unusual to see a dog or two standing at the bow as the boat glided into the lock, and occasionally we'd see the odd cat sunning itself on the roof.
The leisurely life seemed to suit them, too.
Then there was the canal's own wildlife. Several ducks greeted us each morning when we opened the windows – just checking in case we had some leftover bread! Moorhens and swans often paraded their young, too.
Having a separate bedroom at the back of the boat for teenagers Mat and Luke was ideal. It meant we could open up the boat and start cruising well before they woke up.
We meandered through Leamington and then spotted The Blue Lias, a beautiful flower-clad pub just nestled on the river bank. This definitely necessitated a stop before tackling the Stockton Flight – a staircase of eight locks.
Tackling the locks was done with enthusiasm. One person steered Jim, one tied the rope to steady the boat in the lock, and two sorted filling and emptying the water. With several other boats around we often shared a lock and therefore shared responsibilities.
If there are only two of you onboard you need to bear in mind that you need to be quite agile, and have a reasonable amount of strength to turn the lock keys. This is where having two teenagers proved its worth. Anticipating the locks ahead and checking whether there were boats queueing up, or indeed waiting for us, was a challenge that the boys relished.
It's well worth stopping at The Blue Lias pub for a meal on the river bank
Mooring up at night was simple as long as you avoided parking too near a lock. Make sure you tie the boat tightly though.
They do tend to move if a boat cruises closely by – as we discovered.
Our second night was spent moored up in Braunston, just next to the Marina (worth a visit), and opposite yet another pub, where we enjoyed an evening meal.
As Monday dawned, we started our return trip. We knew we had several hours before arriving at our first lock, so we left the boys sleeping.
Don't get the idea that this is all about tradition and looking to the past, by the way. We used the Canal app on our smartphone to see the route ahead. It uses GPS and was very useful, warning of bridges and locks.
Our four-day trip saw us navigate from Warwick to Braunston and back. We had travelled through 46 locks, enjoyed some great pub food and been amazed at the scenery and the way of life narrowboat owners enjoy.
It's an experience we'd love to repeat. Wonder if Jim would like to come on holiday with us again soon...
Sue Hall travelled as a guest of Kate Boats, which is based at The Boatyard, Nelson Lane, Warwick, CV34 5JB and at Stockton Top Marina, Rugby Road, Stockton, CV47 8HN. Call 01926 492968 or click www.kateboats.co.uk
Short breaks and week-long holidays plus are available on the fleet of more than 20 narrowboats. Sue picked up Jim at Warwick and the cost of her short break (Saturday to Tuesday) at the end of June, was £790.
Top tip: If you pick up your boat at Warwick there's a Tesco just 10 minutes into the journey, right on the canal bank. Moor up and pop in for supplies. If you're on a short break you won't find many, if any, other opportunities to pick up basics.

Gravity - Critics Round Up
An obstruction for Cuarón's ambition is the film's CGI and effects: Clooney and Bullock are surrounded by unconvincing animations, never once does the film successfully situate them in a context that feels physically real. The performances are rendered awkward by the digital touch-ups on the actors' spacesuits, as if the paper thin writing weren't enough sabotage.
The L Magazine: Calum Marsh
September 25, 2013 | Critic's Rating: 1.5/5
September 30, 2013 | Critic's Rating: 1.5/5
"Gravity," far from a step forward in film, so often seems a lateral step into the realm of simulators; the nearest analogue for the film's increasingly tedious twirls and dips is not another sophisticated cinematic spectacle but rather Disneyland's Star Tours ride, in which an audience is placed in a superficial and ultimately distancing form of immersion that stresses only the level of digital post-production required to make such shots possible.
September 04, 2013 | TIFF
September 08, 2013 | TIFF | Critic's Rating: B-
Impressively rendered in CGI, the interstellar landscape is indeed stunning—a boundless void that is as mesmerizing as it is terrifying... [But] The experience is more akin to playing a video game than watching a movie as each brief respite is dramatically disrupted by further disaster—a tether snapping, a fire alighting, another tether snapping—and the pattern is tedious and predictable rather than exhilarating.
It's hard to recall a movie that's as viscerally thrilling and as deadly boring as "Gravity," a colossal and impressive exertion of brain power aimed at overriding—at obviating—the use of brain power... the movie involves a far more menacing emptiness than the physical void of outer space: the absence of ideas.
November 15, 2013 | Critic's Rating: 3/5
It's when it becomes the Sandy Bullock Therapy Hour with Dr. Doug Ross as you-go-girl! superego and the universe as all-denominational psychoanalyst that I really start detaching from this particular stereoscopic umbilical. I'm sure a big part of the problem is that I don't think Ms. B has the performative chops to pull off the everygirl Falconetti thing Cuarón is asking of her.
December 16, 2013 | Critic's Rating: 2.5/5
The issue isn't that Cuaron does nothing to subvert the hokum that forms the center of his movie, or even whether he believes in it. It's that he seems to have no interest in actual content whatsoever, using a placeholder story (dashed off with his teenage son, no less) to justify the visual curlicues, offering only the thinnest of analogues for the theme of human accomplishment he's attempting to convey with those maneuvers, rather than an actual narrative engine to propel ideas.
Letterboxd: David Ehrlich
September 07, 2013 | TIFF | Critic's Rating: 3.5/5
mind-blowing to an absurd degree but frustratingly weighed down by convention. see it in 3D and on mute. really, for a movie that opens with some silly title cards about sound in space, the film's horrendous (mis)use of music is hard to forgive. if WB screened a silent version, i'd be there in a heartbeat. was convinced that complaints of sentimentality were overblown... until the last 20 minutes, when things go haywire, right through the rather laughable final shots.
September 08, 2013 | TIFF | Critic's Rating: 63/100
Gravity is one of the most awe-inspiring F/X showcases in cinema history; its lengthy opening sequence alone... exhibits a command of space, in both the formal and literal sense, that's breathtaking... The film does suffer a bit from its marked similarity to J.C. Chandor's All Is Lost, which is likewise concerned with the nuts and bolts of survival in the middle of nowhere, but eschews dialogue... backstory, and any sort of "character arc" apart from not dying.
More successful as delirious cinematic exercise than emotional survival tale, Alfonso Cuarón's highly anticipated Gravity possesses a vast space between the quality of its virtuoso technique and its trite screenplay.
October 01, 2013 | Critic's Rating: 4/5
These last two movies have clearly been thinking about Stanley Kubrick.Children of Men is the film that complements one Kubrick, A Clockwork Orange, and exceeds another, Full Metal Jacket. There are shots of Bullock in her helmet, spinning fetally, that evoke 2001: A Space Odyssey. But the film eventually feels like James Cameron's Aliens, right down to Bullock's haircut and skivvies.
October 14, 2013 | Critic's Rating: 60/100
I won't spoil the details, but the ultimate message is more along the lines of 'Never give up' and 'Don't be a quitter', which comes perilously close to banality. What does that leave? Wondrous special effects, certainly. An evocation of space so seamless it doesn't even call attention to itself – it just feels natural, like they took their cameras hundreds of miles beyond the Earth's atmosphere.
Aside from its apparently suspect science, Gravity has taken shots for the loquacity of the screenplay, though this is justified in the context of the story—keeping a running monologue up over radio increases the chances of making 'SOS' contact with mission control—as well as being a pretty literalizing of the old saw "talking yourself down."
October 27, 2013 | Critic's Rating: 3/5
It's true that slinging a camera from non-"space" into Sandra Bullock's helmet to assume her non-existent POV, then sending it back out into the equally unreal void etc. etc. lacks physical tactility or any easy sense of empirically quantifiable achievement — but it's also true that the shot had to be thought up in the first place, and Cuarón's concepts are pretty impressive.
November 03, 2013 | Critic's Rating: 3.5/5
...If we are going to look at how these long takes work... Gravity's closest cousin would be Jansco's The Red and the White, in which objects can appear out of nowhere and your entire landscape needs to be constantly reoriented—Cuaron's gambit is to bring a 360 element to it. Add to that the use of sound... and details like the moisture on the front of Bullock's helmet, and my eyes were all over the screen trying to stay as oriented as she did.
August 28, 2013 | Venice
Within the first three minutes of the film is plain to see that no time has been wasted and that the director and his cinematographer were beavering away creating something a bit new and a bit different. Now let's not be going all crazy and calling it a new visual language or anything — De Palma was half way here with his severely underrated Mission To Mars, from which this cribs more than a few key sequences — but this film, particularly its look, needs to be seen to be believed.
August 28, 2013 | Venice | Critic's Rating: A
When I stood up as the final credit rolled, I don't mind admitting that I immediately had to sit down again, a Bambi-like wobble coursing through my limbs, as if I'd just re-encountered gravity myself. For sheer transference of experience upon the audience, I can think of no film quite like it.
Gravity is harrowing and comforting, intimate and glorious, the kind of movie that makes you feel more connected to the world rather than less. In space, no one can hear you scream. But a whole audience can hear you breathe. And _that_ is a wondrous thing.
September 29, 2013 | Critic's Rating: 3.5/4
...Cuarón's film may be either the most expensive avant-garde movie ever made or the most approachable, mass-appeal experimental work of art—like WALL-E's "define gravity" dance writ on the scale of Erich von Stroheim. If seeing Earth from above for the first time left astronauts like Glenn feeling like they'd just been born again, Gravity's simple muscularity restores wonder to cinematic representations of outer space and reinstates the integrity of blockbuster filmmaking.
[The] breathtaking outer-space adventure "Gravity," with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as a pair of astronauts marooned amid an apocalyptic application of Murphy's Law, is without question the film of the week and one of the most important films of the year... It's a film made in 3-D that very nearly justifies that overused, overhyped and largely unnecessary cinematic process, and a film made almost entirely with computer graphics... that is intimate, absorbing and fueled by human emotion.
October 04, 2013 | Critic's Rating: 4/4
For all its stunning exteriors, it's really concerned with emotional interiors, and it goes about exploring them with simplicity and directness, letting the actors's faces and voices carry the burden of meaning. It's about what happens to the psyche as well as the body in the aftermath of catastrophe.
Jonathan Rosenbaum once wrote that F.W. Murnau's Faust "integrates its dazzling special effects so seamlessly that they're indistinguishable from the film's narrative, poetry, and, above all, metaphysics." The same could be said of this awesome sci-fi spectacle by Alfonso Cuaron, which took several years to make but still feels spontaneous in its action and character development.
The anxiety rarely abates even as the debris storms from broken-up satellites that plague the astronauts... provide the movie with its most visually enthralling moments. Maximum tension is derived from Bullock's repeated attempts to find something, anything to hold on to. In 2001, space has a majestic indifference. In Gravity, space is an active threat. The precariousness of existence is a visual constant.

The Laboratory Hypothesis: Why Haven't Aliens Made Contact Yet, And Are We Being Watched?
If this theory is correct, we will probably never make contact at all.
James Felton
Senior Staff Writer
Jul 20 2022, 11:01 UTC
Are we all in a zoo? Or worse? Image credit: PopTika/Shutterstock.com
If you haven't heard of the Fermi Paradox, here it is in a nutshell: Given the high probability that alien life exists (bearing in mind the vastness of space and planets within habitable zones keep being found), why has nobody got in touch yet? If there are so many other civilizations out there – possibly far more advanced than we are because of how long the universe has dragged on – surely at least one would send out messages or probes, or desperately search for signs of life like we are?
Answers to the paradox range from optimistic to downright frightening. It could be that we simply haven't been looking long enough, nor emitting our own traceable signatures for aliens to find us yet. It could be that no aliens will ever be able to make contact with other species, destroying themselves long before they get to the kind of tech required to do so.
Advertisement
One of the more optimistic explanations is the Zoo Hypothesis. First set out by MIT scientist John Allen Ball, it suggests that aliens exist and are aware of us, but are quietly watching, like you would observe the animals in a zoo.
"Among currently popular ideas about extraterrestrial intelligence, the idea that 'they' are trying to talk to us has many adherents," Ball wrote in his paper. "This idea seems to me to be unlikely to be correct and the zoo hypothesis is in fact the antithesis of this idea."

"I believe that the only way that we can understand the apparent non-interaction between 'them' and us is to hypothesize that they are deliberately avoiding interaction and that they have set aside the area in which we live as a zoo."
Advertisement
The theory relies on certain assumptions, such as that few civilizations out there in our galaxy are at the same development point as us. This might be a reasonable assumption, given the short time span in which human civilization has developed. Instead, for the theory to work, there would be primitive life out there, plus advanced civilizations which have survived long enough to be at development levels "perhaps comparable to what will be on earth a few million years hence".
"Analogy with civilizations on Earth indicates that most of those civilizations that are behind in technological development would eventually be engulfed and destroyed, tamed, or perhaps assimilated," he explains. "So, generally speaking, we need consider only the most technologically advanced civilizations because they will be, in some sense, in control of the universe."
Ball points out that even at our own level of technological progress, we set aside areas for natural development (from nature reserves to un-contacted peoples who we deliberately leave alone).
Advertisement
"The perfect zoo (or wilderness area or sanctuary) would be one in which the fauna inside do not interact with, and are unaware of, their zookeepers."
According to modifications to the theory by later scientists (and science fiction writers, of course), aliens could be allowing our natural evolution to take place, much like the Prime Directive in Star Trek prevents the Federation from interfering with the natural progression of alien species.
It could be that hypothetical advanced civilizations wait until we are ready to make contact (such as in Contact) or until they have passed some sort of technological or political threshold (e.g. they have stopped attempting to destroy each other, or other species).
Advertisement
Annoyingly, the only real way we'd know if the theory is (still possibly) correct is by the process of elimination.
"The zoo hypothesis predicts that we shall never find them because they do not want to be found and they have the technological ability to insure this," Ball writes. "Thus this hypothesis is falsifiable, but not, in principle, confirmable by future observations."
He describes this as pessimistic and psychologically unpleasant, preferring to believe that aliens would in fact get in touch. Tucked away in Ball's paper on the Zoo Hypothesis is a small tweak that he describes as "morbid and grotesque": the Laboratory Hypothesis. In this version, aliens do not speak to us as we are part of an experiment that they are conducting on us.
Advertisement
"We may be in an artificial laboratory situation," he writes. "However, this hypothesis is outside the purview of science because it leads nowhere, it immediately calls into question the premises on which it is based, and it makes no predictions."
By contrast, we could – and for a reasonably cheap price – at least attempt to contact our zookeepers, as physicist João Pedrode Magalhães proposed in 2016.
"I propose to send a message using television and radio channels to any extraterrestrial civilization(s) that might be listening and inviting them to respond," the author wrote.
Advertisement
"Even though I accept this is unlikely to be successful in the sense of resulting in a response from extraterrestrial intelligences, the possibility that extraterrestrial civilizations are monitoring us cannot be dismissed and my proposal is consistent with current scientific knowledge. Besides, issuing an invitation is technically feasible, cheap and safe, and few would deny the profound importance of establishing contact with one or more extraterrestrial intelligences."

A Charm Bracelet Fell In Love with a Bangle
March 9, 2018 Kerry Gilligan
A charm bracelet and a bangle fell in love.
Customize The Life Bangle with hand-engraved images that represent you!
I've always loved a good charm bracelet not only because they tell the story of one's life, but also because I have such a soft spot for things that are smaller than they're supposed to be (i.e. Nike's for babies). However, charm bracelets often aren't practical for everyday wear - which is why I also love a good, sleek bangle. They're versatile and effortless. In typical fashion, I've merged two of my favorite things into The Life Bangle. This highly custom bangle features hand-engraved images that are meaningful to your life and represent you!
Here's what I picked for My Life Bangle:
My O.G. BFF
From the day I got Zoey for my 16th birthday, we were two peas in a pod. Between our mutual love of jelly beans, ice cream, and laying out in the sun, down to the fact that we share the same birthday, she will forever be my favorite shadow.
We said goodbye to Zoey a few weeks ago, and it completely broke my heart. The very next day, my new Life Bangle happened to be ready from the engraver. It couldn't have come at a better time! I will always love my Zippy Dog and it makes me so happy to have a little reminder of her with me everyday.
The dock will always be one of my favorite places on Earth. It's the location I always use for all of my personal pieces from the coordinates collection. Just thinking of the sound of the water against the dock gets me so excited for summer!
This is one of my favorites because it reminds me of my family. My cousins first started calling me Key when they were very little. If you follow me on Instagram though, you know that Key has also morphed into Kiki and Keeks, a la my niece, Lottie. If you're bored, check my Instagram for hilarious videos of her and her huge personality. I swear it's the real reason people follow me!
The 4th of July is second only to Christmas in my book. Now that I think about it though, I might like it more than Christmas?? I don't know... it's a toss up. But I'm a sucker for anything red, white, blue, and Americana.
Every summer growing up, my grandfather would get us a new pair of Minnetonka moccasins when we arrived to the lake. I loved them so much that I would wear them until they literally had holes. A pair of mine from when I was 3 now sits proudly on display at the lake house with the big toe completely worn out. My current Minnetonka faves are my fuzzy slippers. (I often wear them outside on chilly nights out on the boat. I know, I'm so bad.)
It's the reason I started this company and no explanation would give this place justice... So I'm not even going to try!
I grew up in Carmel, IN just outside of Indianapolis. I absolutely love it there and will always consider it home. I chose the race car to represent Indy in general because, while going to the 500 is one of my favorite traditions, it's also just a great excuse to go home!
This one is pretty obvious. I spend SO much time with jewelry everyday! But my favorite part of being in the industry is definitely the people. When I first started, I had no idea that I would make lifelong friends along the way!
Alma mater? Children's initials? The possibilities are endless!

It's really hard to decide which I love more: the sun sparkling on the water, or that diamond shimmer. But what's even better than those two things? Both of them together! Now you can keep that Summer sparkle with you all year round.
(P.S. If everyone could stop talking about Fall at least until Labor Day I'd really appreciate it.)

New coordinates bracelet!
January 9, 2016 Kerry Gilligan

Coordinates: Choose one of your favorite locations. As with all items from the Coordinates Collection, this can be customized down to the exact address!
Diamonds: Available with 0, 2, or 4 diamonds in varying sizes.
Color: Choose your cord! We have many different options including material, color and embellishments. But don't worry if you can't decide - it can be swapped out at anytime!
Favorite location, gold, and interchangeable colors?? Yes, please!
P.S. Many items sold out during the Christmas season - but not to worry! We are currently in the processes of restocking and will have them all available again soon!

California Atty. Gen. Bonta leads challengers in campaign cash - News West
Activists seeking to overhaul the criminal justice system are looking to build on the success they had in electing progressive Dist. Atty. George Gascón in Los Angeles County and Dist. Atty. Chesa Boudin in San Francisco, while also protecting those gains against petition drives to recall the two county prosecutors from office.
Groups that contributed so far this year to Schubert's attorney general campaign include the deputy sheriffs' associations in Sacramento and Placer counties and the San Francisco Police Officers Assn. The police group gave $16,200 to Schubert.
Hochman's campaign reported large numbers of contributions from real estate and financial industry executives as well as attorneys including former L.A. County Dist. Attys. Jackie Lacey and Steve Cooley.

OPCW's Flagship Capacity-Building Programme Gets Underway | OPCW
Opening Session of the 17th edition of the OPCW Associate Programme
The 17th edition of the OPCW Associate Programme was co-inaugurated today by The OPCW Deputy Director-General, Ambassador Hamid Ali Rao, and H.E. Ambassador Christoph Israng, Permanent Representative of the Federal Republic of Germany.
This is a "unique and invaluable opportunity to support the mission and spirit of the Chemical Weapons Convention in your home country and region", said Ambassador Rao in his opening remarks.
Addressing the participants, Ambassador Rao added: "Upon your return home, it is our sincere hope that that you will serve as a valuable advocate and resource for the implementation of the Convention, as well as for the promotion of the peaceful uses of chemistry."
He also underlined that the Associate Programme is one of the OPCW's largest training programmes. "It is aimed at building the capacities of chemists and chemical engineers from countries whose economies are either developing or in transition, and equip them not only with the knowledge on the Chemical Weapons Convention but also with the skills to operate safely and effectively in modern chemical industrial settings."
Ambassador Christoph Israng underlined that despite many achievements, the OPCW is now working to counter new challenges, such as chemical terrorism: "The OPCW cannot tackle these challenges alone. It needs partners. Partners like us State Parties that have to increase their efforts to fully implement the CWC, but also responsible individuals like you that make an essential contribution to the CWC. This is what I call the OPCW family – and you are part of this OPCW family."
Thirty-two participants from 32 OPCW member states will attend a nine-week course. The agenda combines lectures and exercises at the OPCW Headquarters in The Hague and specialised institutions in the Netherlands. The attendees will also travel to the University of Surrey, United Kingdom, for a three-week Chemical Engineering-Oriented Skills Development Course. They will afterwards undertake, in pairs, three week- attachments at chemical facilities in 13 Member States in Europe, Asia and Latin America, learning how to operate successfully in a modern chemical industry setting, including the chemical safety framework. The facilities contributing to the Programme are located in Argentina, Brazil, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Poland, Spain and Sri Lanka.
This year's participants represent the following countries: Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, Burundi, Cameroon, China, Cuba, The Democratic Republic of Congo, El Salvador, Gambia, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Malawi, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritius, Nigeria, Pakistan, Paraguay, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tunisia, Ukraine and Zimbabwe.
Since its inception in 2000, the OPCW Associate Programme has evolved into a major international training project, fostering the economic and technological development of OPCW member states, which is one of the pillars of the Convention. To date, nearly 400 experts from 116 countries have participated in the Programme.
The Associate Programme is made possible through continuing support from the OPCW member states and various partners, including representatives of chemical industry, academia and entities such as the World Customs Organization (WCO), European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC), European Association of Chemical Distributors (FECC), European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), Dutch Customs Authorities, City and Port of Rotterdam, and Technical University of Delft.

The latest ads also feature a principal more familiar to a U.S. audience – none other than Tommy Lee Jones. The "Men In Black" actor is a veteran of Japan TV ads, featuring as the lead in campaigns for a canned coffee company, but his latest role surely demanded his best pokerface – conversing around a dinner table with a pooch.
There's a serious side to Softbank and Mr. Son, though. As well as having pulled off a series of sometimes unlikely but expensive deals, the unusually forthright business leader became prominently involved in efforts to promote renewable energy in Japan after the March 2011 disaster triggered the Fukushima Daiichi crisis.

there are times where taking too many steps on this path is risky. HRDs working in specific situation cant use some of the tool (e.g. encryption tools like GPG or secure email providers like VaultletSoft.com) as this may lead to increase of risk rather. but those decisions are possible only when one understands the implications of the usage of the tools, the logic behind the tools.
one other element that was interesting to see in our development of the 'security in a box' toolkit is that HRDs are very often lost in the abundance of the tools. they do not know which one to choose. this is why we decided to choose (in most of the cases) one tool to answer the given ICT security need. it may seem risky to put all the trust on one tool. but it actually let HRDs proceed.

If lawyers on either side of the case have even a hint that someone like Mankiw may work against their side, they will use one of their peremptory challenges to remove him from the juror pool. In their eyes, removing him from the jury is the equivalent of removing several other equally biased jurors. Similarly, for judges on a circuit court or the Supreme Court, a smart, persuasive judge might convince other judges to change their votes on a case. Judges who can write powerful judicial decisions also tend to be cited more frequently and influence judicial decisions made by other judges.

When I arrived to this hotel, I had my doubts. But the service was great and my room was very nice. Keeping in mind this is an older building and not super expensive, I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the room was. The lobby and hotel are dated but clean and well kept, despite the minor repairs that were taking place during my one night stay. If I were to go back to Bay City again, I would definitely stay there again.

Surprisingly, teachers’ impressions of speaking turns are sometimes not accurate, so this exercise can help sort out participation patterns. I have seen this in my own work with teachers and in earlier research. Back in the early 1980s, researcher Dale Spender videotaped teachers in high school classrooms, many of whom were “consciously trying to combat sexism” by calling on girls and boys equally. Upon reviewing the tapes and tallying the distribution of participation, the teachers were surprised that their perceived “overcorrection” of the unequal attention had only amounted to calling on the girls 35 percent of the time. The teachers reported that “giving the girls 35 percent of our time can feel as if we are being unfair to the boys.” Although (we hope) the gender ratios in this research may be dated, the phenomenon of teacher misperception still holds.

The IPKat: Watch out lawyers - do you own your name?
Do lawyers own goodwill in their name? The UK's IP Enterprise Court tells all in Bhayani & Anor v Taylor Bracewell LLP [2016] EWHC 3360.
The dispute arose when a partner, Ms Bhayani, left Taylor Bracewell but the firm continued to use a sub-brand she had developed and for which the firm had registered a trade mark: Bhayani Bracewell. Ms Bhayani alleged passing off and revocation of the trade mark on the basis that use of the trade mark was liable to mislead the public that she was still a partner at the firm (under section 46(1)(d) of the Trade Marks Act 1994). The partnership agreement was also considered in light of both issues.
Season's Greetings and Goodwill to all mankind
Goodwill, the first limb of the passing off "trinity" was the primary focus of the hearing.
It was accepted that Ms Bhayani had acquired a reputation in the field of employment law. However, reputation is not the same as goodwill and on its own is not sufficient to found an action for passing off. So, whilst an individual partner may have a professional reputation, it does not follow that they own the goodwill in their name. As HHJ Hacon noted "goodwill cannot in law subsist as a thing alone - it is indivisible from the business with which it is associated." Therefore, in the normal course of things the goodwill generated by a partner's acts will vest in the partnership.
The judgment did go on to consider some circumstances in which an employee (or partner) could generate goodwill of their own. For example:
Landa v Greenberg [1908] 24 TLR 44 - a contributor to a weekly column in The Jewish Chronicle under the name "Aunt Naomi" was granted a declaration that she was entitled to the Aunt Naomi name and an injunction to prevent the new proprietor from continuing to use the name.
Dr Crock & his Crackpots
Hines v Winnick [1947] Ch 708 - "Dr Crock" from Dr Crock & his Crackpots (an orchestra on a BBC radio show called Ignorance is Bliss) sued when the defendant tried to replace Dr Crock with a new performer. The judge was referred to Landa v Greenberg and granted an injunction against continued use of the Dr Crock name on the same basis.
Forbes v Kemsley Newspapers Ltd (1951) 68 RPC 183 - "Mary Delane" wrote various articles in the Sunday Times under a pen name which was chosen by the defendant. Her contract was terminated but the defendant continued to publish under the Mary Delane name The judge noted that "a person who writes under a pseudonym is entitled to the property in that name as part of his or her stock-in-trade unless there is a term, express or implied, to the contrary in an agreement with an employer". There was no such term so the claimant was granted her injunction.
Irvine v Talksport [2002] EWHC 367 - TalkSport created a brochure which used an image of Eddie Irvine with a TalkSport branded portable radio superimposed on the image. Irvine brought a successful action for passing off on the basis that the brochure falsely represented that Irvine endorsed the TalkSport radio station.
These cases were distinguished on the basis that they either related to (i) writers/performers so the court assumed that the public would consider the artist to be solely responsible for their creative output or, (ii) in the case of Irvine, to a separate business to his contract with Ferrari as a racing driver. In other words, Irvine endorsed products as part of a separate business and consequently had generated a distinct goodwill which was his and on which he could found an action for passing off.
Because Ms Bhayani's reptuation had all been carried out at law firms (rather than sole proprietorships), there was no separate business which could be characterised as belonging to Ms Bhayani. This meant that the goodwill in her name vested in Taylor Bracewell and her previous firm. No goodwill meant that the passing off action could not possibly succeed.
Careful contract reading can avoid later drama
Under this intriguing heading, HHJ Hacon went on to suggest that if a firm continued to represent a solicitor as being employed by them after their departure from the firm it would be possible to take action against them either on the basis that (i) the goodwill associated with the name of the solicitor vests in their new firm and/or (ii) there has been an injurious falsehood.
The partnership agreement further strengthened Taylor Bracewell's case although it did explicitly note that Ms Bhayani was free to use her own name in the course of trade now that her employment at the firm had ceased. This agreement, arguably, also gave Taylor Bracewell a contractual right to continue using the Bhayani Bracewell mark.
Revocation of a trade mark which is liable to mislead the public
Section 46(1)(d) of the Trade Marks Act 1994 provides that:
(1) The registration of a trade mark may be revoked on any of the following grounds— ... (d) that in consequence of the use made of it by the proprietor or with his consent in relation to the goods or services for which it is registered, it is liable to mislead the public, particularly as to the nature, quality or geographical origin of those goods or services.
Ms Bhayani claimed that Taylor Bracewell's use of Bhayani Bracewell was liable to mislead the public that she was still associated with the firm. The judge agreed that this argument had a realistic prospect of success and thus declined to strike out the claim.
Labels: Branding, goodwill, goodwill in personality, law firm, name, ownership, partnership, Passing off, section 46 trade marks act, trade mark
A very interesting case. I am sure Allen & Overy, who took on a number of partners from Simmons & Simmons, understood that none of these lawyers had any "attractive force" connected to their names.
And of course Taylor Bracewell changed it to Bhayani Bracewell for reasons unconnected to Ms Bhayani's practice and the attractive force of her name in the local market...
Also I think that Irvine was on point, and that the way in which it was distinguished was a bit wonky

Travel Journalist Saw the World With Humor, Curiosity and Guts - The Washington Post
Travel Journalist Saw the World With Humor, Curiosity and Guts
By Matt Schudel By Matt Schudel Email the author August 14, 2005 Email the author Follow @MattSchudel
Long after she had retired, Ethel Starbird lingered in spirit at the National Geographic. From 1961 to 1983, she was a writer and editor with the magazine, traveling the globe as one its few female staff writers.
She wrote articles on Hawaii, Saskatchewan, England's Thames River, the islands of Spain and her beloved New England. Each of them required months and sometimes years of research, travel, writing and polishing.
For a story on coffee in the magazine's March 1981 issue, Starbird worked for more than two years, picking coffee beans in the mountains of Colombia, searching for authentic Turkish coffee in Istanbul and visiting plantations in Brazil and the Ivory Coast. In Japan, she was buried up to her neck in a therapeutic bath of coffee grounds heated to 140 degrees. In Indonesia, a coffee farmer told her of a prized local variety made from beans digested in the belly of a small animal called the luak.
"He refilled my cup," she wrote in her article. " 'I'd like to try it sometime,' I told him more out of politeness than conviction.
" 'You just did.' "
Ethel Allan Starbird, who died June 27 of a stroke at age 87, was admired not just for her writing but for her straight-shooting personality, her love of a good time and her willingness to stand up to cant and nonsense. Her career had taken her from the military to radio to politics, but at the Geographic, she wrote in an unpublished memoir, she found "the most civilized place in Washington to work."
She was so beloved that, for years, the magazine presented an annual award called "the Ethel" to a writer, editor or researcher who best embodied what her colleagues called her spirit of "integrity, good humor and guts."
If the pages of her articles have begun to fade, the impression she made on others has not.
"She was smart, funny, generous, as well as stubborn, opinionated and sometimes mercurial," former colleague Betsy Moize said.
"She was abrasive as all get out and cantankerous," said writer Bart McDowell, "but also a very loyal and feisty person."
"If a woman could be a curmudgeon," said Geographic researcher Judith Brown, "she was a curmudgeon."
Starbird was born in Washington but spent most of her youth in Vermont, graduating in 1938 from the University of Vermont. Her father and her brother were Army generals, and Starbird herself served two years in the Women's Army Corps during World War II.
Her official job, she said, was preparing news releases, but her unofficial duty was writing Dear John letters for other women in her unit, which she called "some of the most creative work I have ever done."
Posted to war zones in the Pacific theater, she wrote in her memoirs, she didn't always observe strict military decorum and sometimes found herself wearing, "all at the same time, a Navy overseas cap, Marine shirt, Seabee dungarees, Air Corps jacket and jungle boots courtesy of the Japanese Imperial Army."
From 1945 to 1951, Starbird worked in radio and advertising in Burlington, Vt., Honolulu, San Francisco and Tokyo before joining Dwight D. Eisenhower's 1952 presidential campaign. By the end of the year, she was assistant to the chairman of the Republican National Committee, in charge of coordinating women's activities. She worked for the U.S. Information Agency and the General Services Administration before signing on with the Geographic as a writer of "legends," or photo captions.
The magazine had its share of traditions and, as Starbird discovered, secrets. Finding an office with a constantly closed door, she decided to investigate, "which is how, after seven years of clandestine operation, I managed to blow the cover on the conspiracy within -- the FBI's 24-hour vigilance from the Geo's garret on the Russian Embassy across the street."
Gregarious and generous, Starbird always followed an open-door policy in her own office, especially as the clock approached 5 p.m.
"She would invite people in for a 'smile,' as she said," McDowell recalled, "which was her Inver House Scotch Whisky and general gossip."
She had scores of friends, whom she invited to her weekend house on the Rappahannock River for an annual "summer camp," complete with printed T-shirts, contests and a schedule for kitchen duty. Dozens of people came to her weekend-long parties that invariably devolved into discordant concerts on the kazoos, tambourines, penny whistles and broomstick bass she kept on hand.
The best party of all, though, came in 1978, for her 60th birthday. After a five-course meal, Starbird led the revelers on a frolic through the ornamental pool in the Geographic's ground-floor Explorers Hall, as perplexed tourists peered through the windows.

As real as it can get! The shapes of this tree are taken from real pine trees. The branches are produced in a mould, a new production method for artificial trees that makes the artificial Christmas tree look realer than ever before! The branches are made of mix PP / PVC material. The tree is always packed in a strong storage box, so you can easily pack and store the tree after the holidays. Of course this tree is made off flame retardant material for your safety. The Pot Tree Delaware is a super realistic tree; wide and filled with branches just like a real tree. On the detail photos and demonstration movie you can see how beautifully detailed the branches of this tree are.

I wish I were Nancy Drew.: March 2010
I'm back in Brisbane for my second year of uni! I'm very excited, however I will be without a sewing machine for a few months. Very sad stuff, especially considering I've left my gorgeous 1930s Singer treadle machine at home (a recent purchase, but more on that later!). If anyone knows anything about treadle machines, let me know because I'm eager to get mine working :)
To fill the crafty void in my life, I'm teaching myself crochet. It is very addictive and is a good way to make my hands sore. I also have no idea what I'm doing. My first project is this chain mesh beret by millionish. Halfway through I ran out of the ugly pink wool I found in the back of the cupboard at home. So now it looks like a clown collar! I'll go searching for some other pink wool - I think it will soon find a home in my little cousin's dress-up box :)
I've moved into an ensuite room at college this year! It's massive compared to my old room, so I am enjoying it a great deal!
I also have a little art station now...
Despite my room being quite large, there isn't a great deal of storage space. This means my textbooks are left balanced precariously on this little dresser...

Modern vet makes an age-old point - smh.com.au
The healing art of acupuncture is not just for humans, writes Hamish McDonald, Herald Correspondent in Beijing.
Professor Lu Gang has a soothing bedside manner. The acupuncturist runs his hands gently along the patient's spine before inserting needles between the vertebrae, apparently without pain despite the lack of anaesthetic.
With patients like Tuan-Tuan, however, he makes sure they wear a wide plastic collar so they cannot turn around and bite him.
Professor Lu practises at Beijing's veterinary teaching hospital, on the city's northern fringe, and his patients range from dogs and cats to horses and cows.
Tuan-Tuan ("Little Roundy") is a grumpy Pekinese dog who has damaged his backbone jumping down from a height. He drags his hind legs lifelessly on the ground, and is inclined to urinate when agitated, which is often.
Professor Lu inserts about 20 needles into Tuan-Tuan's back, along each side of the backbone, until the dog has a ridge of needles sticking out. Then he parts the fur on the tip of Tuan-Tuan's tail and inserts a needle along the length. "According to tradition, this sends energy down the length of the spine," the professor says.
Finally he puts three or four needles into energy points on Tuan-Tuan's limp hind legs. "You can feel the heat flowing back in," he says, inviting visitors to feel the pads on the affected limbs.
Tuan-Tuan's owner, Mr Hou, says the dog has already had five or six courses of acupuncture with professor Lu, at 50 yuan ($9) a visit. "He had no appetite because he was in pain," Mr Hou says. "Since the treatment he is eating a bit and has regained some control over his urination."
Professor Lu leaves Tuan-Tuan's needles for the required 30 minutes and attends to a kitten with diarrhoea. A weatherbeaten man asks about medication for his mule. An arthritic Pekinese, Ber-Ber ("Big Forehead"), has calcium solutions injected into the energy points, a fusion of traditional and Western practice.
Pekinese, with their short legs and long back, are prone to paralysis of the hind quarters, it seems. "I advise owners to feed them calcium supplements, but they need to lie in the sunshine for the calcium to be absorbed," Professor Hu says. "But unfortunately the city regulations say you can only exercise your dog in the early morning or evening."
In the 1970s, researchers began testing ancient acupuncture methods described in a seventh-century text called A Peaceful Horse, written by Li Shi, and combined them with current human techniques. The result was the Atlas of Canine Acupoints, which now hangs on the walls of Professor Lu's spartan but spotless consulting room.
He says Western drugs and surgery are best for organic diseases, but acupuncture is far preferable to surgery for skeletal or rheumatic disorders. And Tuan-Tuan's recovery chances? Professor Lu says they are twice as good with acupuncture as with Western medicine. "I think we will get him back to normal."

View credits, reviews, tracks and shop for the Vinyl release of Ronnie Is A Headbanger on Discogs. Label: Not On Label - SRTS/79/CUS • Format: Vinyl 7 The Crowd - Ronnie Is A Headbanger (, Vinyl) | Discogs/5(3).
Apr 30, · In conclusion, this vinyl release is highly recommended as it really catches the Rainbow sound at the peak of their career. Even if like me, you have the DVD, you will not be disappointed to own this excellent vinyl release. It has a heavy and loud sound and is a glorious example of a concert from a classic 70s band pressed on magic, black vinyl/5().
Nothin' Fancy are also augmented by a number of guests, including guitarists Kenny Smith, Jeff Ellis, and Chris Burton. Reflections finally doesn't so much improve upon Once Upon a Road as offer more of the same thing, reflecting, it seems, an old country saying: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. -Ronnie 5/5(5).
Vinyl at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas - Las Vegas. As It Is, along with the opening bands point north, hold close and sharptooth were amazing. I have so many great memories from that night, especially from talking with Patty after the concert. The small venue was a great change from larger venues when people just get lost in the crowd. 😄5/5(12).
– Ronnie Ogden And His Orchestra: Something To Remember You By From Three's A Crowd: L3 – Margot Moser With Robert Mandell And His Orchestra: Young And Foolish From Plain And Fancy: L4 – Tony Mansell With The Foursome And Roland Shaw And His Orchestra* Once In Love With Amy From Where's Charley? L5 – Wally Stott And His Orchestra*.
One of the world's great mysteries is just why this album replete with great "break beats" isn't coveted by the funk/ hip-hop D.J. crowd but hey don't ponder, purchase it it still sells for cheap price and is a true cornerstone in any Gulf Coast music collection for one thing,the backing musicians are completely out of hand: funky drums, out-of-control bass lines, over-the-top.
The guitars are a little more subdued, with some nice double-stop work in the intro. The vocal harmonies are well done and tasteful. Great little tune to dance to with your sweetheart on a Saturday night at home while enjoying a glass of wine. The main guitar solo is a little hotter than the rest of the song.

bluemist anime blog » Vocaloid for Valentines: For You
This is about destiny and red string of fate tying a love which was sadly not to be. But the person remaining is hopeful and remembers the feeling dearly. This is a very moody but good song relating to the feelings of loss and nostalgia.
Hachigatsu no Kaze
This is about the hopefulness, music, and love within the August breeze. Very endearing song, and quite possibly reflects the producer's life. Aishiteru
Very simple, very straight. I like the lyrics of this song and its honesty.
Aishite Kurenakute Iiyo
Very simple, very straight as well, in the sadder kind of way. It's kinda sad how the person seems to give up in this one.
Kimi no Yasashisa ga
This is probably the most depressing song of this group. It's the theme of unrequited love, taken almost too seriously and quite bitter at that.
A rare first sentimental song of the new Vocaloid voice IA.
Definitely my sentimental song of the year, and very relatable to those people out there who wants to confess to the one they love during their graduation.
There are also quite a number of good sentimental Vocaloid tracks that weren't released over at Nico Nico Douga like the usual but can be purchased through online music shops. Please also do take a listen at these songs.

Sciblogs | Lemon: The New Miracle Cure!
By Darcy Cowan • 07/03/2011 This post was syndicated from Scepticon » Sciblogs - View original source
Initial reading of this 'article' throws up numerous red flags that the claim is either wholly made up or exaggerated. First is the allusion to conspiracy, while drug companies can certainly act in nefarious ways[3] this article implies that scientists in general would close ranks and perpetuate the conspiracy. Otherwise why haven't government funded scientists or otherwise drug company independent scientists picked this up?
3. Lemons are 10,000 times better than chemotherapy, really, not 8,000 or 12,000 but exactly 10,000? In all situations?
This lack of interest in dose response permeates the altmed/pseudoscientific crowd, both in the positive and negative sense. There is no safe dose of toxic compounds[5] and no lower threshold of benefit for 'good' compounds[6]. So questions such as 'how many lemons would you have to eat to cure your cancer?' become in this context almost nonsensical. While we in the evidence based camp might ask whether it should be 10 or 100 or 1000 lemons, and is that per day? And for how long? Further, how does the concentration of the anticancer component vary with the nutrition of the plant from year to year, or even within a season? How about between plants? Is the component present in the flesh or the skin? Those in the vague, feel good altmed camp are content with the message 'Eat Lemons'.

There's a lot of magical thinking around when it comes to cancer cures (and earthquake prediction). People just really want it to be nice and simple.
When my poor old Dad had advanced cancer and was receiving acupuncture for pain relief, the therapist gave him a pamphlet on baking soda as a miracle cure for cancer. He had enough sense to throw it in the bin.
It'd be interesting to see the lemon and baking soda proponents slog it out – would they neutralise each other?

Well it helps when you have no idea what acid and alkaline are, here's a comment from one of the "copy/paste" links I provide (third from the right):
"Ya know why? Of course, you do…
(Put a worm in pure lemon juice, make a petrie dish all alkaline…)
Most Americans are acidic 🙁 due to sugar, meat, junk food, coffee, alcohol etc.
Broccoli is +25 alkaline……"
This person appears to think lemons are alkaline.
and I have no idea what scale of pH she is using? Anyone?
+25 alkaline? sounds like an RPG buff.
and this person is not alone, from the comment directly below:
"Cayce advocated an alkaline system and and a little freshly squeezed lemon juice in water is a good system alkalizer. He also said in his own way that two almonds a day keeps the cancer away!"
"I was going to mention what Miss H said about the alkaline environment. Amazing though, it sounds so simple and it actually is but I don't think many people are aware of how beneficial eating alkaline foods is! "
so they might not even realise there is a conflict.
'Most Americans are acidic' – heh.

Fish in a barrel, Darcy.
What frustrates me is that in rejecting real science these people think they are thinking critically.
Whew, Darcy – after all that you'll be wanting a stiff G&T (with lemon?)
blagh..can't stand gin.
But I am actually partial to adding extra lemon juice to my ginger beer.
It all reminds me of dihydrogen monoxide, a chemical known to kill every cancer cell in a petrie dish culture, and which the drug companies are conspiring to keep secret.
Thinks: Maybe if I add a slice of lemon to my Pump…
Just about anything will kill any sort of cells in a petri dish – water, air, lemon juice, G&T, chemotherapy…
Teh stoopids! It burns!
Seriously though. I've been having a hard time lately keeping my rage in check. I have come to the conclusion that stupid people should be told they're being stupid until they stop.
Counter productive? Perhaps.
07/03/2011 at 3:11 pm
@Lynley, I presume the chemo crack was tongue in cheek.
also should I change the broken url on your name with http://www.lynleyhood.org ?
I would say that is definitely counter productive. I found reading the book by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson's book "Mistakes were made (but not by Me): Why we justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts"
very helpful in helping me to remember that people are still people even though we disagree.
That said I have been purposefully making my posts more forceful lately as my intellectual opponents kept thinking I was on their side.
Darcy – my url's not broken. It really is http://www.lynleyhood.org So please change it back.
Lynley, I've fixed up the url.
If you have logged in to the sciblogs site rather than using the comment form then it must be incorrect on your site profile. If so I can ask the site overlords if they can fix it at the source.
Darcy, this has got to be one of the worst pieces of pseudoscience I have ever come across. Virtually every line throws up red flags!
"Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version" There are people making synthetic lemons? Amazing!
"You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries," So if I eat pastries containing lemon for the rest of my life I will be healthy? Yeah right.
"It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum…" So is it antimicrobial or not? Why use the phrase "it is considered"? Immediate red flag.
"it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world" Care to let us know who?
I did a search on the Health Sciences Institute Baltimore and if you really want to see more "stoopid that burns" go here (.http://hsionline.com/) In fact this website is full of some of the most hideous pseudoscience claptrap I have ever seen since someone referred me to whaleto!!!!
Is there no way to get this people for false advertising!!
"this has got to be one of the worst pieces of pseudoscience I have ever come across"
Ah, young padawan, there is much worse out there than this. Ever heard of the Gonzalez Regimen? That stuff just makes my blood boil.
Regarding the HSI, I actually think they have nothing to do with this particular piece of drivel but they are certainly involved in promoting fear of established science for their own profit (see footnote 10).
Not afraid of running contradictory stories if it suits their purposes either.
I just typed the street address for the Health Sciences Institute into google maps and it seems to be telling me that the business at this address is Spartan Plumbing, Heating and Air
that is interesting, when I first tried to look up the address I used the one at the bottom of the article, which is different. I found that there is no Cause st in Baltimore.
According to This Site, it is the home of "Publishing services, LLC" and "International Living". And Agora which seems to be the parent of them all.
The pic on the site matches what I found on google street view.
The Gonzalez regime – have you read Orac's dissection of an appalling piece of 'research' that tested this against the gold standard for pancreatic cancer chemo (http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2009/09/the_gonzalez_protocol_worse_than_useless.php)? How on earth it got past a human ethics committee is beyond me! And how regular coffee enemas etc would add to someone's quality of life is equally out of my mental grasp. Sigh.
Somehow "alternative medicine" "researchers" seem to manage to avoid having to get ethics approval for their "research".
How ironic that they will often accuse conventional scientists of being unethical.
The sad thing is that I think that particular study did get ethics approval. Luckily this extended to canning the study when it became sadly obvious that patients on the gonzalez protocol had markedly shorter & more unpleasant lives than those on the mainstream treatment. Which is surely something that should be avoided at all costs.

wow I can't believe that so much attention is given to this so called cure. as for not being mentioned in time check out red yeast rice. it lowers cholesterol and it's natural drug companies actually hate it because they can't reproduce it it's natural- no money in it. try reading death by prescription before you go banking everything on current medical science. Personally, if it doesn't change your lifestyle by having a little lemon then what can the harm be. Remember the only thing cancer patients have is hope no matter what form that's in.
Kim, I agree with your first sentence- people are giving this far too much attention and credit.
Beyond that, any support for your statement the "drug companies actually hate it because they can't reproduce it "?
I see this a lot "Drug companies hate X because they can't make money off it."
Well I had a look and at least two drug companies ARE making money off red rice or it's components. (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/red-yeast-rice/NS_patient-redyeast).
Next, you make the accusation that current medicine is harmfull. I can't argue that there are sideeffects to drugs and sometimes these are harmful. BUT you guys ALWAYS ignore the other side of the coin, ie. how much benefit there is. Medicine is a Risk/Benefit analysis, does the benefit outweigh the risk? Usually that's "yes", sometimes we find out that the answer is "no" and then practices change. The same cannot be said for alt med who have never given up a therapy.
Lastly you imply that false hope is better than no hope for cancer patients. You may be right, I don't know, but if it were me I'd rather have the correct information not a fantasy. Have you checked out the link I gave to a cancer patient forum to see their response to this rubbish? Here is is again: http://community.breastcancer.org/forum/102/topic/765586?page=1 Might change your mind.
[edited "false hop" to "false hope";
Rimmer: Everyone's entitled to their beliefs, Lister. I never agreed with my parents' religion, but I wouldn't dream of knocking it.
Rimmer: Seventh Day Advent Hop-ists. They believed that every Sunday should be spent hopping. They would hop to church, hop through the service, then hop back home again. I tell you, Sunday lunchtimes were a nightmare – we all had to wear sou'westers and asbestos underpants. You see, they took the Bible literally – Adam and Eve, the snake and the apple, took it word for word. Unfortunately, their version had a misprint. It was all based on 1 Corinthians 13: "Faith, Hop and Charity, and the greatest of these is Hop."]
"Remember the only thing cancer patients have is hope no matter what form that's in."
Some cancer patients recover through sound treatment, actually. Some particular cancers have decent survival rates, even (childhood ALL comes to mind as one example).
that would be Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia?
Yes, there's CLL, AML, and a whole bunch of others 😉
Remove the tumour from the patient. Put it on a hard surface. Beat it with a large lemon, or as many large lemons as it takes, until it is thoroughly mashed. Examine the cancer cells under a microscope. A huge number of them will be dead! QED.
20/07/2011 at 12:38 pm
Amazing! we need to put billions of dollars into this right away!
Here's some harm for you Kim: http://whatstheharm.net/alternativemedicine.html
And, beyond that, quack medicine offers cancer patients nothing but false hope and empty wallets. It's contemptible that people think it's okay to peddle this nonsense to cancer patients and their families. It preys on their vulnerability and fear and it disgusts me.
Responding to Kim:
It's bad enough to die of cancer, but just imagine how much worse would it be to die knowing that you had been ripped off by con artists peddling quack remedies. I think that people who peddle quackery to the desperate must be sociopaths, completely without conscience.
Is giving hope a good thing when it is false hope? Better surely to be honest with the patient so that they have time to say their goodbyes and put their affairs in order, than to give false hope.
Big Pharma don't "hate" alternative remedies, they screen them for possible therapeutic effects. If they can patent it and put it in a pill, they will.
Responding to Darcy:
Can I interest you in investing in an orchard of thick-skinned lemons? 🙂
20/07/2011 at 4:38 pm
I do love lemonade…
Lemon Meringue pie, mmm.
oh yeah and the cancer thing…I'll be rich.
I should have picked up your reference to 'not causing harm'. Most ineffective 'treatments' don't directly cause harm because they are ineffective. (Homeopathy is another example.) However, if patients use these in lieu of effective treatment, they can result in the illness becoming serious, possibly to the point of not being able to properly treated by any means. Prompt treatment of serious illnesses is important.
For one particularly horrific example of harm, this story is of a New Zealand natural health practitioner treating what proved to be a cancer:

@Grant, Confirmed.
10/06/2012 at 12:00 am
@ Carol "When my poor old Dad had advanced cancer and was receiving acupuncture for pain relief, the therapist gave him a pamphlet on baking soda as a miracle cure for cancer. He had enough sense to throw it in the bin."
That's sad. He was probably unaware that cancer thrives in an acidic environment and decreases in an alkaline one. Baking soda nuetralizes acid in the body.
I also see that you don't believe that most Americans are acidic.
Ignoring basic information like this (I'm sorry to say for your father) will continue to kill people from cancer
@Rosalind, What exactly is false hope? People have been completely cured of cancer through prayer when the doctors had no scientific explanation. Dodie Osteen is one documented case. Here's an excerpt from her writings:
Dolores (Dodie) A. Osteen wrote the 76-page pamphlet "Healed of Cancer" in 1986; she then offered an edited version in 2003 (22 years after diagnosis). This pamphlet covers her story in her own words. The booklet covers her cancer battle, starting with a week of in-hospital testing and the diagnosis on December 10, 1981 of "metastatic adenocarcinoma of the liver," with a large tumor in the right lobe and two smaller tumors in the left lobe.
The diagnosis was the result of C.T. scans, several biopsies, and G.I. scopes during a week-long hospital stay. Local Houston oncologists consulted cancer experts at both M.D. Anderson (Houston) and St. Lukes (Cincinnati).
The doctor spoke to her husband John: "Pastor, your wife has metastatic cancer of the liver. With or without chemotherapy, she only has a few weeks to live. We can treat her, but it will only slightly prolong her life." With no optimistic medical options available to her, and a prognosis of "a few weeks to live", Mrs. Osteen turned her emaciated 89-pound body over to her evangelical Christian faith.
An amazing recovery began, without either medical treatment, change in diet or exercise. Mrs. Osteen is alive and well today.
@Michael Edmonds, After reading the above claims by Dodie Osteen I 'm curious to hear your reaction. Would you put this in the category of pseudoscience as well?
I can't believe some of the close mindedness on this board. The American Indians have been curing themselves of diseases for hundreds of years, long before conventional science and clinical trials were being conducted.
@Gary Barnes
There is no evidence to support that acidity (of the body or food) has any affect on development or progression. This is an absurdly simplistic and erroneous explanation of cancer and human biochemistry.
The idea that acidity and alkalinity have a significant effect on health has no more merit than suggesting disease is an imbalance of the four humors.
"Ignoring basic information like this (I'm sorry to say for your father) will continue to kill people from cancer"
If this wasn't such an ill informed and cruel piece of advice the pun would be amusing.
"@Michael Edmonds, After reading the above claims by Dodie Osteen I 'm curious to hear your reaction."
A change in diet and exercise regimes, as well as a positive attitude can certainly have a positive effect in dealing with cancer, though is not necessarily a cure.
The human body is an amazing complex and unpredictable system. Many diseases can go into spontaneous remission (not sure for liver carcinomas but I think spontaneous remission for breast cancer, for example, is around 20%)
So while it is exciting that Ms Osteen overcame her cancer, which of her activities achieved this, if any? Or was it something beneficial in her genetics or even her environment? Single cases of recovery, while brilliant for the recoveree tend to provide little useful data in themselves. However if say, 90% of people eating low acid foods went into remission that would be another thing. When that sort of data is produced the medical profession will take notice.
@Gary Barnes, there is also the very real possibillity that Ms Osteen never had cancer in the first place. Doctors are wrong in their diagnoses, sometimes.
My husband was diagnosed with brain stem glioma in 2001 and given no more than 2 years to live. He's still very much alive. No appeals to any sky pixy, no quack remedies…just an incorrect diagnosis.
An aunt of mine was diagnosed with stomach cancer and given only weeks to live, way back in the early 1990's. She's also very much still alive. Reason: She never had stomach cancer.
A true scientist, not a closed minded skeptic, understands that science needs to constantly be reformed because science is always discovering new things.
The medical community, like you appear to be closed minded. The best that they can do is chemotherapy which destroys the good cells as well as the bad. Could that be because they're making billions of dollars off the disease of cancer instead of focusing on preventative measures? I'm not sure, you tell me.
"there is also the very real possibility that Ms Osteen never had cancer in the first place."
@Rosalind. Are you serious? Are you telling me that a woman who is dying of a severe form of cancer simply 'got it wrong'? Give me a break. The diagnosis of cancer that Dodie Osteen had would be very hard to get wrong.
10/06/2012 at 1:43 pm
Science requires that you keep an open mind, but not one that is so open that any old crap falls in.
Implying that I am close minded is an (inaccurate) insult. I have not stated categorically that anything Ms Osteen did could not have helped her. Rather I have pointed out that there are a range of alternative possibilities.
Science must keep an open mind but it must also carefully control the variables so that what is classed as "science" is reliable – based on careful, thoughtful analysis of valid data, while also eliminated natural human bias.
10/06/2012 at 1:54 pm
Gary, I am absolutely serious. I've given you two examples from my own family of people who were diagnosed with cancer and given a dismal prognosis, and in both cases the diagnosis was wrong.
I find it amusing that people who insist that doctors are wrong to reject 'alternative' treatments nevertheless believe that when it comes to diagnosis, doctors are infallible. Cognitive dissonance much?
Just to add to Rosalind's point, one of things I find striking in these things is how the focus is on doctors. Another is a tendency to apportion 'blame'.
While the doctors will be calling the overall diagnosis, they will be relying on results from tests in the case of something like cancer.
Generalising here in the hope of showing just a little more of the complexity doctors face – tests can give false positives – results that call a 'true' result (e.g. that a patient has a particular type of cancer) when in fact the person doesn't.
Ideally, several tests taken together increase the accuracy of the overall call but false positives do occur and they are not anyone's 'fault'.
(They are not the fault of the diagnostic laboratory either. I'm assuming no mistakes, etc., of course.)
Tests are sometimes reported as 'a likelihood that' the result from the test is correct. As an imaginary example, a test result might say the patient, for that one test, had a 95% likelihood of some specific form of cancer – they'd then have a 5% chance of not having it, too.
It helps to be aware of what 'calls' have a statistic part of them. It's been commonly pointed out that people not thinking in terms of statistics leads to incorrect ideas about medical or scientific topics, etc.
This is a big topic and there is much more that could be said but maybe this helps – ?
I find your assumption that doctors never make errors touching, Grant. Sometimes they do make mistakes, and in that case they ARE to blame. Doctors should not be immune to blame.
In the case of my husband's alleged tumour, the diagnosis was made from imaging because the lesion was inaccessible to biopsy. Nevertheless the radiologist and oncologist were absolutely dogmatic that they had the correct diagnosis, and subjected him to great distress, as well as debilitating treatment, because they were too arrogant to consider other diagnoses. I most certainly blame them. As someone who has three physicians in their immediate family, I am very aware of how fallible they are, and how they are programmed from medical school to believe, and communicate, that they are infallible, to the detriment of their patients.
11/06/2012 at 7:07 am
You wrote "I find your assumption that doctors never make errors touching, Grant."
That's not quite what I wrote, y'know. (That is, it's not what I wrote at all.) I wrote that I assumed it for the purpose of my description, not that "I assume that doctors never make errors". If I had to fit in every eventually the description would get unwieldy and cloud the points I was trying to make.
Some might read you as jumping to fit (your words) "I find it amusing that people who insist that doctors are wrong to reject 'alternative' treatments nevertheless believe that when it comes to diagnosis, doctors are infallible." on my words, perhaps through reading in too much of a hurry – but I didn't write that. I was just pointing out the issue of false positives in tests and noting that I was putting other things to one side (for clarity and, for what it's worth, because I've very little time right now). My words actually acknowledge errors indirectly by explicitly noting I've set them aside. That said, i think it's wise to look to the full range of things happening before plumping people with labels and casting blame.

Home > Building a British Model of Integration in an Era of Immigration: Policy Lessons for Government
In this report, part of a Transatlantic Council on Migration series on national identity, the authors analyze developments in the United Kingdom's integration policy over the past 15 years—a period in which immigration levels increased substantially, with the composition of migration flows becoming increasingly temporary and diverse in nature. The analysis focuses on whether or not immigration has influenced—or has been perceived to influence—national identity, integration outcomes, and neighborhood cohesion in communities.
The report identifies widespread British hostility to immigration as a critical element of public opinion regarding immigrant integration. The concern that immigrants weaken British national identity appears to be shaping policy both directly and indirectly, by changing the climate in which policy is made. Findings also indicate a wide variance in what the public understands integration to mean, which likely contributes to the lack of British policy consensus on what constitutes successful immigrant integration and how to effectively measure it. At the local level, perceptions of community cohesion seem to have less to do with immigration or immigrant integration outcomes and more to do with socioeconomic deprivation and the quality of public services. The report notes, however, that a rapid influx of immigrants could be perceived as a drain on public resources, thus undermining community stability.
Pointing to the absence of a fully coherent UK immigrant integration program, the report characterizes Britain's approach to integration thus far as one of stock-taking rather than a goal-driven approach; few existing policy measures directly target immigrants, and authors forecast that integration through more tailored means is unlikely, at least in the near future. However, immigrants seemingly benefit disproportionately from a variety of social policies conceived without reference to integration objectives. Hence, the authors contend that the most promising long-term solution to integration challenges rests in the intelligent adaption of mainstream policy within an overarching national narrative that emphasizes inclusiveness and ensures that all groups move toward parity.

Making Perfumes With Aroma Chemicals – lettredecandidature
Aroma chemical substances are synthetically created fragrant molecules that give fragrance to perfumes and scented products. Some smell beautiful in their raw form and others may be downright ugly of their pure, undiluted form.
Most perfumes available available on the market these days are made of 100% aroma chemical substances; particularly the aquatic, fruity and smooth form of clothier perfumes which can be the present day trend nowadays. These fragrant chemical substances are quite strong of their overall performance and clean use by skilled fragrance makers. In fact, they're the favored choice of odorants for the perfumers in the fragrance industry to work with.
The ongoing development within the increase of modern-day day generation continues to enhance the method of making perfumes. This is positive development compared to the early days of fragrance making when perfumes have been definitely made up with natural ingredients; both from plant life and animal sources. Nowadays, maximum of the animal derived raw substances formerly utilized in perfumery are longer used due to moral reasons. Get More Info
Present day molecular scientists and alchemists are continually running on making amazing replicates of the popular animal notes of yesteryears in their laboratory with out endangering animals or the surroundings. Consequently, fragrance makers are able to have continued get admission to to a few the perfume notes which are vital to their perfume compositions. This is a large alleviation for fragrance designers because some of such natural fragrance components previously utilized in perfumes are actually banned or critically restricted and impossible to supply legally. A true instance of this is musk. Musk turned into at first harvested from the glandular secretion in the pods of the Musk deer. This of path would result in the loss of life of the deer.
However, despite the fact that aroma chemical substances are more effectively available, the use of them in perfumes would require a certain level of ability and experimentation so as to use them efficaciously. One could want to familiarize oneself with how a whole lot to apply whilst developing a fragrance so as no longer to spoil the mixture. Some aroma chemicals are so sturdy that most effective trace amounts are wished in a perfume combination, whilst others definitely don't have any heady scent at all till they're blended with different aromatic notes.
For example, the aroma chemical recreation of civet oil smells completely faecal in its undiluted form and lightly musky in severe dilution. Regardless of ways it smells in its natural nation, it performs a paranormal function in a composition while a tiny quantity of the diluted model is introduced to it. As a factor of a fragrance composition, it's far unrivalled in how it affects sensuality, warm temperature and stability to the mixture.
Ambrettolide – an intense and effective musk be aware.
Ambrofix – described by using the producer as an ambery, woody and tobacco like odor.
Cashmeren – a highly spiced and very diffusive musk be aware with floral recommendations.
Civet – warm sensual animal musk in severe dilution.
Citronellyl – a sparkling, fruity and rose observe similar to geranium oil.
Dihydromyrcenol – a lavender, citrus and natural lime be aware this is robust, fresh and easy.
Geraniol – a geranium and rose kind fragrance.
Habanolide- treasured white musk word that adds a watery freshness to blends.
Limonene – a candy citrus, sparkling orange word that provides elevate to blends.
Vanillin – a totally concentrated and excessive vanilla aroma.
Compared to natural fragrance elements, aroma chemical substances are extra commonly utilized in creating the advanced fragrance oils applied for making perfume. This is because they may be effortlessly reproduced with the aid of the manufactures to the equal concise system and constant first-class again and again again. On the complete they may be more solid to apply in blends and frequently appreciably less expensive too.

How to Verify and Test Robots.txt File via Python - Holistic SEO
A Platform for Coder Marketers
Think like SEO, Code like Developer
How to Verify and Test Robots.txt File via Python
Leave a Comment / Python SEO / By Koray Tuğberk GÜBÜR
The robots.txt file is a text file with the "txt" extension in the root directory of the website that tells a crawler which parts of a web entity can or cannot be accessed. Thanks to "robots.txt" files, web site owners can control the crawlers of Search Engines so that they can index only the necessary information on their website. Also, they can manage their crawl efficiency and crawl budget. Any kind of error in a Robots.txt file can affect the SEO Project deadly. So, verifying the Robots.txt file for different kind of paths and URLs are important. In this article, we will see how to verify a robots.txt file for different kinds of user-agents and URL Paths via Python and Advertools.
If you don't have enough information, before proceeding, you can read our related guidelines.
How to Analyze and Compare Robots.txt Files via Python
In our guideline, we will use Advertools that is another Python Library especially focused on SEO, SEM and Text Analysis for Digital Marketing. Before, proceeding, I recommend you to follow Elias Dabbas who is creator of the Advertools on twitter.
How to Perform a Robots.txt File Test via Python?
In our last Python and SEO Article which is related to the Robots.txt Analyze, we have used "Washington Post" and "New York Times" robots.txt files for comparison. In this article, we will continue to use their robots.txt files for testing. The related and required function from Advertools is "robotstxt_test". Thanks to "robotstxt_test" function, we can test more than one URL for more than one User-agent in a glimpse.
from advertools import robotstxt_test
robotstxt_test('https://www.nytimes.com/robots.txt', user_agents=['*'], urls=['/ads/'])
We have imported the required function from Advertools.
We have performed a test via "robotstxt_test" function.
The first parameter is the URL of the tested robots.txt.
The second parameter is for determining the user-agents which will be tested.
The third parameter is for determining the URL Path will be tested according to the user-agents based-on determined robots.txt file.
You may see our Robots.txt verification result below.
We have performed a Robots.txt and User-agent test via Python.
The first column which is "robotstxt_url" shows the robots.txt URL, we are testing according to.
The "user-agent" column shows the user-agents we are testing.
"url_path" shows the URL snippet we are testing for.
"can_fetch" takes only "true" or "false" values. In this example, it is "False" which means that it is disallowed.
Let's perform a little bit more complicated example.
robotstxt_test('https://www.nytimes.com/robots.txt', user_agents=['Googlebot', 'Twitterbot', 'AhrefsBot', 'Googlebot-News', 'SemrushBot-BA'], urls=['/', 'amp', 'search'])
If we perform a "Robots.txt Testing" with more than one URL Path and User-agents, the function will perform a variations for each combination and create a data frame for us.
Robots.txt Testing for multiple User-agents.
You may simply see that which User-agent can reach which URL Path in a glimpse. In our example, the PDF Files from the New York Times are disallowed for all of the user-agents we are testing except for Googlebot and Googlebot-News. Twitterbot, Ahrefsbot, and SemrushBot-BA (Semrush Backlink Bot) can't fetch it.
We also may perform a test for Washington Post to see a similar landscape.
wprobots = 'https://www.washingtonpost.com/robots.txt'
robotstxt_test(wprobots, user_agents=['Googlebot', 'Googlebot-News', 'Twitterbot', 'AhrefsBot', 'SemrushBot-BA'], urls=['/', '/amphtml/', 'ads'])
We have assigned Washington Post Robots.txt URL as a string into the "wprobots" variable and then we have performed our test. You may see the result as below:
Robots.txt test for Washington Post via Python
We see that only Twitterbot can't fetch the "/amphtml/" URL Path and the rest of the URLs are allowed for different URL Paths. If you want to test more URL Paths, you can use the "robotstxt_to_df()" function so that you can see URL Paths to test them as bulk. You may see an example below:
robotstxt_to_df('https://www.google.com/robots.txt')
INFO:root:Getting: https://www.google.com/robots.txt
Robots.txt can be turned into a Dataframe via Advertools.
Here we see the robots.txt file of the Google Web Entity. You may examine the web entity sections of Google easily thanks to their Robots.txt file. Also, you can see what they are hiding from crawlers or how many different web site sections they have which you are not aware of. Let's perform one more test for only Google's robots.txt file. First, we will extract the User-agents in their Robots.txt file.
googlerbts[googlerbts['directive'].str.contains('.gent',regex=True)]['content'].drop_duplicates().tolist()
We have extracted only the unique "user-agent" values via the regex values from the "directive" column. If you wonder more about this section, you should read our Robots.txt File Analysis Article via Python. You may see the result as below.
We have filtered all of the user-agents from a robots.txt file.
They have only four different user-agent declaration. It means that they are disallowing or allowing some special content areas for only those user-agents.
googlerbts[googlerbts['content']=='Twitterbot']
We are checking the index number of the "Twitterbot" line in the "content" column.
We have filtered a specific user-agent from our Robots.txt.
Now, we should check the required index space to see what kind of changes are made for Twitterbot in terms of disallowing or allowing.
googlerbts.iloc[278:296]
You may see the result below:
We have used "iloc" method for filtering determined rows.
Google is allowing Twitter and Facebookexternalhit Bots to crawl their "imgres" folder. I assume that, they are blocking some of the subfolders of this URL Path.
googlerbts[googlerbts['content'].str.contains('.mgres', regex=True)]
We have filtered a special URL Path via Regex.
We have discovered a note that says that "We have allowed some certain Social Media Sites to crawl "imgres" folders." Now, we may perform our test.
robotstxt_test('https://www.google.com/robots.txt', user_agents=['Googlebot', 'Twitterbot', 'Facebookexternalhit', 'Ahrefsbot', 'SemrushBot-BA'], urls=['/', '/imgres', '/search', '/search/about'])
We are performing a Robots.txt test for "Googlebot", "Twitterbot", "Facebookexternalhit", "Ahrefsbot" and "SemrushBot-BA" for the URL Paths "/", "/imgres", "/search", and "/search/about". You may see the result below.
Robots.txt Testing for multiple user-agents and URL Paths.
Here, we see that Ahrefsbot can't reach to the "/imgres" and "/search" folders while it can reach to the "/" and "/search/about" paths. We also see that Twitterbot and Facebookexternalhit bots can reach to the "/imgres" folder like said in the comment of the Google. You can crawl a web site or you can pull all of the data from the Google Search Console Coverage Report so that you can perform a test for different URL Models and patterns to see whether they are disallowed or allowed for certain types of user-agents.

How to Analyze Content Structure of a Website via Sitemaps and Python
How to Perform a Robots.txt Test via "urllib" Module of Python
Before proceeding, we should tell that there are another two other options to test Robots.txt files via Python. It is "urllib". You may find a code block that performs a test for the same robots.txt file as an example via "urllib".
import urllib.robotparser
robots_url = urllib.robotparser.RobotFileParser(url='https://www.nytimes.com/robots.txt')
robots_url.read()
rrate = robots_url.request_rate("*")
robots_url.crawl_delay("*")
robots_url.can_fetch("*", "https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/*?s=")
First-line imports the necessary module class for us.
Second-line parses the determined Robots.txt URL.
The third line read the parsed Robots.txt File
We are trying to catch the "request-rate" parameter from the Robots.txt file.
We are trying to check whether there is a "crawl-delay" parameter in the Robots.txt file or not.
We are trying to fetch a disallowed URL Pattern.
You may see the results below:
A sample analysis via urllib.robotparser.
It basically says that there are no "crawl-rate" or "crawl-delay" parameters and the requested URL can't be fetched for the determined user-agent group. Robots.txt files may have "crawl rate" and "crawl delay" parameters for managing server bandwidth, even if Google Algorithms don't care those parameters, they might be necessary for validation. Also, you may encounter more specific and unique parameters such as "Indexpage".
How to Test Robots.txt Files via Reppy Library
Reppy is a Python Library which is created by Moz, one of the biggest SEO Softwares in the world which is built by "Dr. Pete Meyer". Reppy is built on Google's Robots.txt Repisotory which is originally created in C++. We also may perform some tests through easy to use Reppy Library. You may see an example of use below.
from reppy.robots import Robots
robots = Robots.fetch('https://www.nytimes.com/robots.txt')
robots.allowed('https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/*?s=', "*")
agent = robots.agent('googlebot')
agent.allowed('https://www.nytimes.com/news')
robots.agent('Googlebot').delay
robots.sitemaps
The first line is for importing the necessary class function.
The second line is for fetching the targeted robots.txt file.
The third line is for checking a specific user-agents "allow and disallow" situations for a given URL.
The fourth line is for determining a special user-agent.
The fifth line is for checking the different scenarios for only that user-agent.
The sixth line is for checking that the user-agents Crawl-delay parameter.
The seventh line is for listing all of the sitemaps.
A sample Robots.txt testing via reppy.robbots package.
There are also other types of opportunities for Robots.txt file verification via Python, but for now, these three main options will be enough for this guideline. I believe, from all of those options, the best is Advertools. It is easier to use and also has more shortcuts, also it allows you to use "Pandas" filtering and updating methods over results.
Last Thoughts on Robots.txt Testing and Verification via Python
We have performed a short and brief three different tests for Robots.txt files via Python. It includes a little bit of analytical thinking and interpretation skills but still, thanks to Advertools' improved functions, we can test more than one URL Paths for more than one User-agent in a single line of code. This is not possible for Google's robots.txt file testing tool or other types of robots.txt verification tools. Because of this situation, knowing Python can save a Holistic SEO for lots of tasks. You may create a simple robots.txt file testing pattern for yourself so that you can implement similar codes for different SEO Projects in terms of Robots.txt Verification even in a shorter time.
Our Robots.txt File Testing via Python article will be improved by time, if you have any idea or contribution, please let us know.

Hundreds of bottles of fake Chinese liquor have been seized from a shop on jd.com, a Chinese online shopping site, Shanghai police said over the weekend.
If the 170 bottles of fake Fenjiu and 314 bottles of fake Moutai and Guojiao 1573 were the genuine article, they would have been worth around 1 million yuan (US$156,000).
Police raided the shop’s store and warehouse in Beijing's Changping District on January 10 and found the fake products.
Fenjiu Group said in a statement it had assisted police in seizing about 8,400 boxes of fake Fenjiu bottles and 170,000 pieces of fake packaging since December 24 last year in a campaign against counterfeits launched with the approach of the Chinese New Year when demand normally rises.
More than 1,700 boxes of other famous brands had been seized with seven suspects detained and one put on bail in six cases so far, the company said.
Meanwhile, Fenjiu, in concerted campaigns with companies including Moutai, Jiannanchun, Luzhou Laojiao and Mongolia King, have discovered more than 2,000 boxes of fake liquor.
Police have seized the fake products found in four warehouses and detained five suspects, according to the company.

Thailand | Priority Areas | Partnerships
Thailand has legally advanced women's rights and gender equality through its ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) in 1985 and its Optional Protocol in 2000, endorsed the Beijing Platform for Action (BPFA) in 1995, and committed to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015. Thailand has made significant efforts to integrate the international principles and instruments into legislation and policy, evident in the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand B.E. 2560 (2017), which clearly specifies that 'men and women shall enjoy equal rights'. The Gender Equality Act 2015, which was enacted in 2015, established a Committee to Promote Gender Equality (CPGE) to enact the Act's legal policies and mechanisms to advance gender equality. In addition, the Women Development Strategy (2017-2021), developed by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, sets out goals, objectives and targets in the area of gender equality which will be steering tools for effective budget allocations.
Thailand has a greater percentage of women in senior leadership positions than both the Asia-Pacific region and the global average[1]. In Thailand's mid-market companies, women hold 32% of senior leadership positions, is higher than the global average of 27% as well as the Asia-Pacific average of 26%. There have also been recent improvements. Among mid-market companies, the number of businesses with no women in senior management has decreased by 5 percentage points – from 19% in 2019, to 14% in 2020. As with several other related indicators, Thailand's numbers on this metric show more diversity than the overall averages for both the region (20%) and the world (17%). Thailand is also performing comparatively well when it comes to having women in the highest positions of power: 24% of CEOs / Managing Directors in Thailand are women, compared to 20% worldwide and only 13% in Asia-Pacific. The senior leadership position held by women in Thailand the most is Chief Financial Officer which contributes to fully 43%, making Thailand the world's highest percentage of female CFOs and the third-highest percentage of female CEOs. Many mid-market businesses in Thailand are looking to build on this trend towards equality.
Despite the fact that Thai women have hold executive roles in public and private sectors, they are generally still underrepresented, especially in the parliament, government, judiciary and administration both at national and local levels. Women account for only 23.9 % of high-ranking civil servants, and gender equality in senior leadership positions has risen by just 3% in the last fifteen years[2].
The results of the General Election in 2019 show a three-fold increase in women's representation as female Members of Parliament increased from 5.4% in January 2019 to 16.2%. The National percentage remains lower than the average of women MPs in Asia (20.5%), Pacific (16.6%), and the Middle East and North Africa (17.5%), as well as far below the global average of 24.9%[3]. For representation in the Senate (Upper House) out of 250 representatives, only 26 are women (10.4%) while 224 are men. The percentage of women in provincial and local governments in Thailand is much lower than that of the national government. There is only one female governor, out of 76 provinces (1.32%)[4]. Female Chiefs of Provincial Administrative Organizations (PAO) and Sub-district Administrative Organizations (SAO) account for 8% and 6.45% respectively [5].
In rural areas, many women in Thailand remain affected by poverty, discrimination and exploitation. They are largely concentrated in insecure and vulnerable jobs in the informal sector, including in agriculture and as own account and contributing family workers, with only a small minority in senior positions[6]. According to the Association for the Promotion of the Status of Women, discriminatory practices against women still exist in many rural areas in Thailand such as employment practices, unfair treatment of women workers, and access to resources. More specifically, there is a lack of policy to promote economic empowerment and access to financial services to disadvantaged groups of women. Only 13.67% of women have borrowed from a financial institution[7]. Under the 20-year Master Plan, Thailand aims to maximize the use of digital technology across all socio-economic activities. Many women in rural areas, however, are not able to fully benefit from progress in information technology as the number of internet users in rural areas are on the low side and online business skills need to be improved[8]. Additionally, privatization and development policies translate into more difficulties for women, especially those living in rural or conflict affected areas, in gaining access to natural and economic resources.
Thailand has transitioned to an upper-middle-income country where gender equality and women's empowerment challenges remain, particularly for certain groups and geographical regions including women from ethnic minorities, migrant women and women in the southern border provinces of Thailand in which violent conflicts have hindered human development leading to serious human insecurity, inequality, deprivation, and socioeconomic disparities. Violence against women and girls (VAWG) remains prevalent in Thailand and acts as a barrier to women's empowerment.
Thailand is one of the main countries of destination in ASEAN region. The migration is driven by a lack of career options and poverty for the country's largely unskilled workforce. There are 3,005,376 registered migrant workers in Thailand, of which 1,291,722 or 43% are women, mainly from Cambodia, Lao PDR and Myanmar[9]. It is estimated that there are 4.9 million non-Thais living in Thailand including undocumented migrants[10]. The majority of migrant workers are employed in informal sectors including domestic works, agriculture, construction and fisheries. Women migrant workers are generally employed in lower-skilled, lower-wage functions than men. The employment opportunities tend to be determined by family status rather than according to their skills or potential productivity.
The Thai Government has put in place policy and legislations including bi-lateral agreement on MOU recruitment process to ensure safe migration and protection. Such efforts are internationally recognized as Thailand ranked Tier 2 in the U.S. Department of State's Trafficking in Persons Report released in July 2020[11]. However, migrants remain vulnerable and face with different forms of exploitation including labour exploitation and human trafficking due to language barriers, legal status, limited knowledge and awareness on rights, limited access to social protection and undervalued social and economic contribution.
UN Women Thailand covers three strategic outcomes.
The normative work allows UN Women to link and scale up its work with other key areas such as women's leadership and political participation, women's access to justice, and women, peace and security. UN Women Thailand will support the implementation of normative work at the policy and local levels.
Advocate for the localization of the SDGs and the implementation of CEDAW and Beijing Plan for Action through our work with the national women's machinery on strengthening of the gender focal point system, gender responsive budgeting and gender statistics
Policy advice and dialogues with national and sub-national partners to promote women's leadership in decision making process at national and local levels through gender responsive budgeting
Technical support to the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, Women's Machinery and civil society organizations working to promote women's leadership and political participations at national and local levels, gender-responsive rule of law and access to justice and ending violence against women and girls
